On a street in New Orleans, in the blistering summer heat, a sister spirals.

When Blanche unexpectedly visits her estranged sister Stella, she brings with her a past that will threaten their future. As Stella’s husband Stanley stalks closer to the truth, Blanche's fragile world begins to fracture. Reality and illusion collide and a violent conflict changes their lives forever.

Almeida Associate Director Rebecca Frecknall’s “heartstopping” (The Telegraph) revival of Tennessee Williams’ masterpiece transfers to the West End for a limited six week run.

Patsy Ferran (“astonishingly good” Time Out) returns as Blanche DuBois, with Paul Mescal (“tremendous” The Times) as Stanley and Anjana Vasan (“outstanding” New York Times) as Stella in this “mesmerising” (The i) production.

Content

This production contains xenophobic language, domestic violence, alcoholism, mental health difficulties including anxiety and depression, as well as references to suicide and sexual assault. It also includes sudden loud noises, haze and the smoking of herbal cigarettes.

Overall an enjoyable experience. Didn’t quite understand what all the drumming was about? It drowned out the actors at the vet beginning. Not sure it quite lived up to the £173 price of the seat. The lead girl playing Blanche and Paul Mescal as Stanley were very good.
