5.0 out of 5 stars "Talking about His Desire! His Brutal Desire! The name of that rattle trap streetcar that bangs throught the quater.", 19 May 2006

By	S. Howard "Wuthering Heights RULES!!" (Liverpool, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This play is amazing, Tennesse Williams best by far! The contrast of Stanley and Blanche show the failings of American society, a fight of past and present, the old fashioned virtues and propriety of Blanche, versus the new modern animalistic nature of Stanley. Played out in bluesy New Orleans in the 1950's, the events lead to a hot bed of brutality and desire. Blanche's secrets are reveiled by an uncompromising Stanley, and Stella and Mitch can only look on. Alienated from society, and unable to adapt Blanche hangs on the edge of Lunacy, her only refuse is Mitch, and Stanley brutally destroys it, He destroys everything Blanche is, He destroys Mitch's chance at happiness, and he Destroys Stella's relationship with her sister. he gets off scott free.

A true classic, classic dialogue and some of the most realistic characters ever seen in modern drama. It shows a thriving post war America, empitomised by Stanley, and shows all the decadence and charm of New Orleans a great read!!! Watch the film with Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando, its a great adaptation. Or watch it on stage, whatever you do, you will not be dissapointed! if i could give it 10 stars i would!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A glimpse into the darker side of society., 9 April 2001

By	Ms. RL Lloyd (Staffordshire, England.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Williams' brilliant skill illustrates the decay of morality and the resulting insanity which follows. Set in 1940s America, the effects of the war and depression have taken their toll on Stella and Stanley Powalski and matters on proceed to become more unstable with the arrival of the melodramatic, wonderful, tragic Blance DuBois. Williams offers his audience a glimpse into the darker side of society - sexual abuse, drinking, gambling, swearing, wife-beating - and introduces characters who are brilliantly colourful bold and intriguing throughout. An excellent play by an excellent writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything alright, 30 Dec 2008

By	Mr. S. Tamang "Josh Laver" (Greater London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As expected, it arrived before the estimated date. Though the cover looks different,I am convinced its the same book and can't wait to go through it at the college.Nice packaging too!
