The Roundabout Theatre Company has set an opening date for its upcoming production of A Streetcar Named Desire. The drama, starring Natasha Richardson, will begin performances in March in preparation for an official opening on April 24 at Studio 54.
Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning A Streetcar Named Desire tells the story of the mental and emotional demise of the determined, yet fragile, Blanche DuBois Richardson in the squalid French Quarter apartment of her married sister and animalistic brother-in-law. The most recent Broadway revival of the play was in 1992 and starred Jessica Lange and Alec Baldwin.
A Streetcar Named Desire is scheduled to run on Broadway through June 19.
