Faded Southern belle Blanche DuBois (Gillian Anderson, The X-Files, The Fall) comes to visit her pregnant sister, Stella, and her boorish husband, Stanley Kowalski (Ben Foster, Lone Survivor), who resents Blanche's aristocratic affectations. The tension between the three of them escalates with the unbearable New Orleans heat in Tennessee Williams’ timeless masterpiece, full of violent sexuality, thwarted dreams—and the potential for spellbindingly intense performances. Directed by the visionary Benedict Andrews (Chekhov’s Three Sisters), this American classic is the fastest-selling production in the Young Vic’s history. Runtime: 195m
