Set against the steamy, sleazy backdrop of the New Orleans old quarter in summer, A Street Car Named Desire depicts the conflict between a fading Southern Belle from and old colonial family and the brash, tough, lower class city society her sister has married into. Familiar Tennessee Williams themes are touched on: survival, death, sexual passion, madness and the haunting legacy of the past.
This edition contains notes, and activities to enhance your understanding and enjyment of the play.
