A Streetcar Named Desire Pulls Onto Broadway

The Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire, starring Blair Underwood, begins previews at the Broadhurst Theatre.

 Streetcar tells the tragic story of fragile former schoolteacher Blanche, who leaves the family plantation house and moves to New Orleans to live with her sister, Stella, and Stella’s animalistic husband, Stanley. She quickly gets a gritty life lesson in the seamy, steamy underbelly of the 1940s French Quarter.
