About The Show
Following sold out runs at the Almeida and Phoenix Theatre, Rebecca Frecknall’s multi-Olivier award winning and ‘heartstopping’ (Telegraph) production of A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE returns to the West End for three weeks only in February 2025.
Paul Mescal (Olivier Award winner for Best Actor), Patsy Ferran (Critics Circle winner for Best Actress) and Anjana Vasan (Olivier Award winner for Best Supporting Actress) all return to London, providing ‘three bewitching performances’ (Observer) before the show transfers to New York.
On a street in New Orleans, in the blistering summer heat, a sister spirals. When Blanche unexpectedly visits her estranged sister Stella, she brings with her a past that will threaten their future. As Stella’s husband Stanley stalks closer to the truth, Blanche’s fragile world begins to fracture. Reality and illusion collide and a violent conflict changes their lives forever.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE plays at the Noël Coward Theatre in February 2025.
