NT Live: A Streetcar Named Desire (15)
Studio Queen Mother Theatre
Cinema
Friday 6th June

Matinee at 2pm (doors 1.30pm), Evening at 7pm (doors 6.30pm).
Streetcar documents the ill-fated summer visit of Blanche Dubois (Gillian Anderson) to her sister Stella (Vanessa Kirby) at the New Orleans apartment owned by Stella's husband, Stanley Kowalski (Ben Foster).
As Blanche's fragile world crumbles, she turns to her sister Stella for solace – but her downward spiral brings her face to face with the brutal, unforgiving Kowalski.
Updated in time and place and presentation the issues of the old vs the new in the deep south remain the same. The star studded cast propel the narrative to new heights. A part that Gillian Anderson had always wanted to play.
This acclaimed production, directed by Benedict Andrews, was captured live at the Young Vic in 2014 by National Theatre Live.
