This production pits a fully adrenalized Gillian Anderson, as Blanche, against Ben Foster, as her adversarial brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski, in a riveting study of the survival of the fittest.
Ben Brantley, The New York Times
This modern-day staging of Tennessee Williams feverish classic arrives at St Ann's after dazzling West End audiences in 2014. Heading the cast as the ill-fated Blanche DuBois is Golden Globe and Emmy winner Gillian Anderson, currently starring on the small screen in The Fall, but perhaps still best known for her iconic portrayal of Agent Scully in Fox's The X-Files.
Directed by Benedict Andrews, this simmering cauldron of sexual frustration and resentment plays out on a revolving set, which allows the audience a window into every cramped inch of the play's sweltering New Orleans apartment setting. It was first staged at London's Young Vic in 2014, and became the fastest selling show in the venue's history. The production earned universal acclaim, with the UK's leading theatre critic, Charles Spencer of The Telegraph, describing Anderson's turn as "the performance of her career".
The main cast transfer over for this New York production. Joining Anderson are stage star Ben Foster (Lone Survivor) as the surly Stanley, and Vanessa Kirby (Jupiter Ascending) as Stella.
When faded Southern belle Blanche finds her decadent life crumbling around her, she falls on the mercy of her timid sister Stella for some relief. However, she didn't factor in Stella's domineering husband Stanley, who is determined to control his wife ahead of the birth of their first child.
Blanche is intrigued with the dynamics of their relationship, and attempts to attract new men by holding court in the Kowalski's apartment, to Stanley's anger. Blanche and Stanley butt heads constantly, and a huge confrontation between the two leads to a devastating fate for Blanche as she finally experiences a psychotic breakdown.
