Day 541 Streetcar named desire play at Massasoit in Brockton MA

Sharing is caring!

The Massasoit Community College Theatre Company  and the Winthrop Playmakers  will be performing  Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire” Friday, Saturday and Sunday, April 12-14 and 19-21 2013  at the Buckley Performing Arts Center in Brockton MA.  The play was originally performed on Broadway in 1947 and a movie was made staring Vivan Leigh in 1951.

 

Tennessee Williams tells the feverish story of the pathetic mental and emotional demise of a determined, yet fragile, repressed and delicate Southern lady (Blanche) born to a once-wealthy family of Mississippi planters. Her impoverished, tragic downfall in the squalid, cramped and tawdry French Quarter one-bedroom apartment of her married sister (Stella) and animalistic brother-in-law (Stanley) is at the hands of savage, brutal forces in modern society. In her search for refuge, she finds that her sister lives with drunkenness, violence, lust, and ignorance.

 

 

Performances will be at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday.

Tickets are $15 and $12 for students and senior citizens.

Box Office hours are Tues-Fri 10:00 am-2:00 pm. Get Tickets
