A new production of Tennessee William's seminal play A Streetcar Named Desire is set to hit the stage at San Francisco's Phoenix Theatre on Mason Street in the historic Union Square district.
Directed by Richard Harder and featuring the acting talents of Kamran Alexander, Glenn Caspillo, Drew McAuliffe and Tara Donoghue, it is the story of emotionally frail Blanche Dubois, a beautiful southern belle vainly trying to escape a life tainted with tragedy and scandal. Devastated by the loss of her husband and the family plantation, she arrives at the home of her sister Stella and her brutish brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski, who live in a squalid apartment in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Far from finding the refuge she seeks, Blanche sees her fragile state worsening under Stanley's blatant hostility and suspicions over what really happened to the family estate. Finally, in a passionate rage, he destroys any hope of Blanche finding the life of peace and contentment she desires.
This production, by Off Broadway West Theatre Company, will run for 7 weeks after an initial one-night preview performance. Shows are scheduled for Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8PM.
Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, with Albert Goodwyn, of The San Francisco Bay Times writing that the tension filled the air like a smothering humid summer heat. Also this, from Rossmore Review's Charles Jarrett: 'Director Richard Harder has brought together a superlative cast of professionals to bring you what I can only describe as a stunning, heart-wrenching, and provocative production of the Tennessee Williams classic.'
Williams' 1947 Pulitzer Prize-winning Streetcar is something of a departure for the Phoenix, which more often stages newer and experimental shows. Originally located at 8th and Folsom, Phoenix Theatre then moved to Geary Street, before finally setting up shop at its current spot on Mason Street, next to Ruby Skye in February 2002. However, this partnership with Off Broadway West, who's mission statement includes a commitment to producing a minimum of one play per season that has been on Broadway and/or Off Broadway, promises to add a more main-stream repertoire to their production schedule.
