Directed by Benedict Andrews, the cast features Gillian Anderson as Blanche DuBois, Ben Foster as Stanley Kowalski, Corey Johnson as Mitch and Vanessa Kirby as Stella.

Presented on a turntable set, this newly-imagined production of Streetcar immerses audiences into the action of the play. “All conversations are overheard, there’s nowhere to hide, and the ensuing tragedy purposefully spins toward its inevitable last line,“ state production notes.

A Streetcar Named Desire features set design by Magda Willi, costume design by Victoria Behr, lighting design by Jon Clark, sound design by Paul Arditti and music by Alex Baranowski.

A Streetcar Named Desire, presented in association with Bruno Wang Productions, is the first collaboration between St. Ann’s Warehouse and the Young Vic.

Tickets are $55-90 and can be purchased at stannswarehouse.org, or by calling (718) 254-8779 and (866) 811-4111.
