“I don’t want realism. I want magic!”
St. Ann’s Warehouse presents the American Premiere of the Young Vic’s immensely acclaimed, modern-day production of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire.
Arguably, St. Ann’s Warehouse is the only New York theater capable of staging this maverick production, directed by Benedict Andrews, with an explosive cast led by Gillian Anderson, Ben Foster, and Vanessa Kirby.
With its transparent, revolving set, surrounded by audiences on all four sides, all conversations are overheard, there’s nowhere to hide, and the ensuing tragedy purposefully spins toward its inevitable last line. In one of many five-star reviews, Charles Spencer wrote in The Daily Telegraph, “Never have I seen a production of the play that was so raw in its emotion, so violent and so deeply upsetting.” St. Ann’s presents the American Premiere of this first collaboration with London’s Young Vic theatre.
