Anne-Marie Duff stars as Blanche DuBois in BBC Radio 3’s landmark production of Tennessee Williams’ masterpiece. The iconic play explores the catastrophic confrontation between fantasy and reality through Blanche DuBois and Stanley Kowalski. Blanche unexpectedly arrives at her sister Stella's home, where her volatile brother-in-law Stanley resides. As a sultry New Orleans summer unfolds, Blanche's fragile façade disintegrates, disrupting Stella and Stanley's already tumultuous relationship. This drama captures the turmoil of a changing nation, stripping Williams's tortured characters of their illusions and leaving destruction in their wake. First performed in 1947, this beloved play won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award in 1948, with a film adaptation earning four Oscars in 1951. In this compelling radio dramatization, Duff is joined by a stellar cast, including Matthew Needham as Stanley and Pippa Bennett-Warner as Stella. The production features John Heffernan as Mitch, David Sturzaker as Steve, Sarah Ridgeway as Eunice, and others. Dramatised by Sarah Churchwell and produced and directed by Sasha Yevtushenko, the duration is approximately 2 hours.
