Tennessee William's masterpiece set in New Orleans is powerful and iconic look at love, lust and loneliness. The fragile Blanche comes to stay with her sister Stella and husband Stanley. Amazed at their frugal life-style, and Stella's dependence on her chauvinistic husband, Blanche is seemingly unaware of the unsettling affect her presence has upon the couple. Drawn like a moth to a flame Blanche is both attracted and repelled by Stanley. She watches as he and his friends play poker during the hot New Orleans nights, and Stella grows big with Stanley's child. But, in a city of winners and losers, it is Blanche who ultimately pays the highest stake of all. 

Using The Mission Theatre's beautiful auditorium for an innovative and intimate staging of this modern classic, Next Stage Theatre Company promises to end a year of outstanding drama with another sell out production.
