A Streetcar Named Desire

A fresh lens of Blanche

The cast discuss the rich and multilayered characters in A Streetcar Named Desire with Director Anne-Louise Sarks.

Director Anne-Louise Sarks set out to avoid repeating received ideas of Blanche DuBois as melodramatic and close to madness, instead understanding her actions as a response to grief or trauma.
