This short study guide tells you all you need to know about Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire. An immediate and triumphant success when first performed on Broadway in 1947, it was described by the drama critic John Chapman as “full-scale throbbingly alive, compassionate, heart-wrenchingly human” with “the tragic overtones of grand opera”. A Streetcar Named Desire is a play by Tennessee Williams that was first performed in 1947. What does it mean to be kind? What does it mean to be a stranger? Are we all more or less strangers to one another – even to those we love, and who love us? In a sense, all Williams’s work addresses these fundamental questions, and never more powerfully than in Streetcar. “ Streetcar is a cry of pain,” said Arthur Miller, paying tribute to his fellow playwright, Tennessee Williams’s achievement.
