Intiman Theatre, under the leadership of Artistic Director Bartlett Sher, continues its 2008 season with the A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams. Performances will begin at the Intiman Playhouse on Thursday, July 3 and continue through Saturday, August 2.
Tennessee Williams brought together sensuality, passion and poetry to create his New Orleans-set masterpiece. The play’s explosive power, vitality and lyricism made it famous; the playwright’s compassion for life’s fragile and damaged souls makes it legendary.
