Streetcar

The play "A Streetcar Named Desire" was written by Tennessee Williams. I had read this play last year so I knew already what was to happen. Either way, it is an interesting play and I am glad I had a chance to see it actually acted out. The story goes that Stanley and Stella are married, and Stella comes from a wealthy background while Stanley does not. They live in New Orleans. Stella's, sister, Blanche comes into town who we find out later has shaky moral values. Stanley is suspicious of Blanche when his good friend begins a romance with her. Stanley finds out Blanche was getting a little freaky with a seventeen year old student back in her hometown and they kicked her out of town basically. Stella is pregnant and has a child and Blanche begins to go crazy. They have Blanche committed to a mental hospital, and the play ends. That was a short, sweet, and to the point rundown of the plot.
