A Streetcar Named Desire revolves around Blanche DuBois. The arrival of Blanche in New Orleans triggers a series of events that affects everybody in the neighbourhood. I don't know too many plays in which one character plays such a major role. Probably half the dialogue is Blanche's; if Blanche doesn't work it's unlikely that any of the other characters will have an adequate platform on which to strut their stuff.

A Streetcar Named Desire

A Streetcar Named Desire is the story of how reality triumphs over Blanche's desire for magic. Not a pleasant story, but an enthralling stage play that has engaged audiences since it opened on Broadway in 1947 and ran for 855 performances. When translated onto film, the Production Code censors demanded 68 script changes, and the Catholic League of Decency demanded a few more, but it went on to become one of the very few films ever to be awarded three Academy Awards for acting.

That sounds a reasonable challenge for Valley Artists, doesn't it!

Valley Artists Inc brings you one of the most famous pieces of theatre written in the 20th century, Tennessee Williams' 'A Streetcar Named Desire'.

Rehearsals are well underway for this classic. Written in 1947, Williams' play delves into the struggle between the old world values of the South and the aggressive materialism of the newer urban world.
