NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE: A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE

Gillian Anderson (Sex Education, The X-Files), Vanessa Kirby (The Crown), and Ben Foster (Lone Survivor) lead the cast in Tennessee Williams’ timeless masterpiece. As Blanche’s fragile world crumbles, she turns to her sister Stella for solace – but her downward spiral brings her face to face with the brutal, unforgiving Stanley Kowalski.

From visionary director Benedict Andrews, this acclaimed production was filmed live during a sold-out run at the Young Vic Theatre in 2014.

Concessions, including wine, beer, and cocktails, are available at Louise & Howie’s Coffee Bar in the lobby, during gallery hours and for purchase before and during programs. Refreshments are permitted in the theater.
