Tennessee William's 1948 Pulitzer Prize winning masterpiece of the clash between unrequited fantasy and the harsh light of gritty existence in the real world.

School teacher Blanche DuBois flees to New Orleans for refuge in her sister Stella's home after their ancestral estate is lost to debt and the scandals in her personal life leave her no other options.

The cruelty and interrogation from Stella's husband Stanley makes New Orleans far from a safe harbour for Blanche, and ultimately leads to a brutal confrontation and emotional breakdown.
