It has been announced that Benedict Andrews' production of A Streetcar Named Desire will be broadcast from the Young Vic to cinemas by National Theatre Live on Tuesday 16th September at 7pm.
A Streetcar Named Desire marks NT Live’s first collaboration with the Young Vic. NT Live performances are broadcast via satellite to over 1,100 venues in over 40 different countries around the world, live in Europe and some US cities, and time-delayed in countries further afield.
The cast of this brand new production of Tennessee Williams’ tragic masterpiece incudes: Gillian Anderson, Clare Burt, Lachele Carl, Branwell Donaghey, Otto Farrant, Ben Foster, Nicholas Gecks, Troy Glasgow, Stephanie Jacob, Corey Johnson (as Mitch), Vanessa Kirby and Claire Prempeh.
The production features design by Magda Willi, costume by Victoria Behr, sound by Paul Arditti, music by Alex Baranowski and light by Jon Clark.
The profound and lyrical plays of Tennessee Williams had an immeasurable effect on American theatre; A Streetcar Named Desire is one of the most influential of all. As Blanche DuBois’ fragile world crumbles, she turns to her sister Stella for solace – but her downward spiral brings her face to face with the brutal, unforgiving Stanley Kowalski.
