‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ Review: Paul Mescal and Patsy Ferran Sparkle in the Tennessee Williams Classic
Director Rebecca Frecknall helms a stellar adaptation of ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ with incredible performances.
Written in 1947 and adapted to the big screen in 1951 in the Academy Award-winning film starring Vivien Leigh, Marlon Brando and Kim Hunter, the themes of desire, illusion, trauma and power remain timely. Helmed by Olivier Award-winning director Rebecca Frecknall, “A Streetcar Named Desire” (now playing at the Brooklyn Academy of Music following successful runs in the West End) opens in New Orleans with a loud, thunderous bang — literally. Shortly thereafter, Blanche DuBois (an exceptional Patsy Ferran) arrives at her younger sister Stella (Anjana Vasan) and brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski’s ( Paul Mescal) front door.
