A Streetcar Named Desire
Nikki Shiels steps into one of the great roles of the stage: Blanche DuBois, the Southern belle whose shifting fortunes land her on the doorstep of her sister Stella and husband Stanley. Blanche guards a dark secret that fans the flames of an already incendiary marriage, and its revelation will set the town ablaze.
One of the most critically acclaimed plays of the twentieth century, A Streetcar Named Desire has lost none of its power to provoke and beguile. In revisiting this monumental landmark artistic director Anne-Louise Sarks and her team – including Michelle Lim Davidson and Mark Leonard Winter – unearth a wealth of rich meanings that only resonate more loudly with the conversations being had across the world today.
From the disfiguring pressure of public expectation to the crippling weight of social roles, this contemporary epic is testament to theatre’s enduring power to hold up a mirror and ask us what we see.
