Fading southern belle Blanche DuBois is adrift in the modern world. When she arrives to stay with her sister Stella in a crowded boisterous corner of New Orleans her delusions of grandeur bring her into conflict with Stella's crude brutish husband Stanley Kowalski. Eventually their violent collision course causes Blanche's fragile sense of identity to crumble threatening to destroy her sanity and her one chance of happiness. Tennessee Williams's steamy and shocking landmark drama recreated as the immortal film starring Marlon Brando is one of the most influential plays of the twentieth century. Tennessee Williams 1911-1983 was born in Columbus Mississippi. When his father a travelling salesman moved with his family to St Louis some years later both he and his sister found it impossible to settle down to city life. He entered college during the Depression and left after a couple of years to take a clerical job in a shoe company. He stayed there for two years spending the evenings writing. He received a Rockefeller Fellowship in 1940 for his play Battle of Angels and he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 and 1955. Among his many other plays Penguin have published The Glass Menagerie 1944 The Rose Tattoo 1951 Cat on a Hot Tin Roof 1955 Sweet Bird of Youth 1959 The Night of the Iguana 1961 and Small Craft Warnings 1972.
