'Tennesee Williams' 1947 masterpiece of broken dreams and tragic collapse'

Michael Coveney, Independent, 29.7.09

'still ground-breaking dramatic, almost filmic, deliquescent structure and poetry'

Michael Coveney, Independent, 29.7.09

'Few playwrights match Tennessee Williams when it comes to capturing the poetry of despair and A Streetcar Named Desire was one of his most heart-rending creations.'

Siobhan Murphy, Metro (London), 30.7.09

'Williams's characters are voluptuaries with injured souls, and his dialogue contains moments of anguished lyricism.'

Henry Hitchings, Evening Standard, 29.7.09

'a great and seductive play'

Sarah Hemming, Financial Times, 31.7.09

The battle between Blanche and Stanley over living space is a microcosm of the greater battle that the two wage over Stella and for control of the future - a future that doesn't have room for both of them.
