Don't miss this spectacular production from one of the area's best local

drama companies. Award winning amateur company Street Theatre perform

Tennessee Williams's steamy and shocking landmark drama. Director Karen

Trevis brings an outstanding cast to Strode with performances starting

next Thursday 24th.

Recreated as the immortal film starring Marlon Brando, this is

one of the most influential plays of the twentieth century and tells of

fading Southern belle Blanche Dubois who uinexpectedly appears at her

sister's house in downtown New Orleans. With delusions of grandeur,

Blanche stands in stark contrast to her brutish brother-in-law Stanley.

His determination to reveal her secrets lead her to withdraw further

from reality into a world of illusions.

This performance is presented by special arrangement with The University of the South, Sewannee, Tennessee, USA.

The play runs from Thursday March 24th - Saturday March 26th at 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £11.00 (concessions £10.00) and can be booked by
