A Streetcar Named Desire at the Kennedy Center
Saturday, November 7, 2009, 1:30 pm
Cost: $30 per person
Location: : The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
Join Graduate Student Life in a programmed by Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton play, A Streetcar Named Desire - the sizzling 1947 Tennessee Williams drama under the direction of acclaimed actress Liv Ullmann. The Academy Award–winning Blanchett stars as the pretentious and pestering Blanche Dubois, one of the most challenging and nuanced characters in all of 20th-century stage drama and a role coveted by actresses everywhere. With a story that pits the false gentility of the southern belle Blanche against the earthiness of her working class sister Stella and her short-tempered brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski, A Streetcar Named Desire is a collision of character that keeps audiences holding on tight from beginning to end.
Critics say "Cate Blanchett is gloriously different…a prize worth fighting, scheming, dying for."
--Time Magazine
