Auditorium's comment

Since its premiere at the Almeida in London, Rebecca Frecknall’s stylised rendition of A Streetcar Named Desire has enjoyed immense success on both the West End and in New York City. There are high hopes that the ITA Ensemble members will bring this intimate drama to life, capturing a depth that may have been missing on the larger stages of London and NYC.

About the show

A Streetcar Named Desire is an intense and emotionally charged reinterpretation of Tennessee Williams's stage classic. Blanche DuBois, a young woman from the decaying American South, tries to maintain the last shred of her dignity after losing everything. She seeks refuge with her sister Stella in New Orleans, who lives with her rough and domineering husband Stanley Kowalski. After sold-out runs in London and New York, director Rebecca Frecknall brings her acclaimed adaptation to Amsterdam in an exclusive remake with the ITA Ensemble — seductive and dangerously electric, yet unflinching in its gaze at masculinity and domestic violence.
