Synopsis 

Blanche Dubois is at the end of her rope, and falling into oblivion.  She clings to her last chance at life and takes a streetcar named Desire to escape the ghosts of her past.  She arrives at her sister Stella’s house to find refuge in the paradise of her lost dream…Belle Reve. But Stella is married to the Polish factory worker, Stanley Kowalski, played by the renowned French performer Francis Lalanne, who doesn’t like seeing his kingdom disturbed. It’s a combustible mix, with the three characters in a dangerous dance of misspent love, betrayal and loss.  

​

This play emphasizes the difficulties that come with the need to live with one’s own desire…
