Brilliant!! - What a joy to read a play so brilliantly imagined and written so vividly that the characters and setting lift from the page. Tennessee Williams was an American playwright and screenwriter who lives long after his work. Many will know his plays from film adaptations that return frequently to our TV screens. I was fortunate to see Rosamund Pike in Summer and Smoke at the Nottingham Playhouse in September in 2006 before it was transferred to the Apollo Theatre in the West End. That it closed 10 weeks short of its planned 16-week run due to disappointing ticket sales, perhaps reflects the problem with theatre rather than the author himself. I am pleased to see β€œA Streetcar Named Desire” has prospered better. Gillian Anderson starred as Blanche DuBois in the 2014 National Theatre Live production of "A Streetcar Named Desire". This filmed performance is being shown again in movie complexes this year which perhaps brings a new and different audience to this play. The production, a collaboration between the Young Vic and Joshua Andrews, was filmed live during a sold-out run. For me, even after reading this play, nothing can beat live actors on the stage. But the staging of the play with the sound effects and directions are all here in this great book. The play works on the strength of the characters and the clarity of their words to carry and convey the emotions of life. We perhaps only hear Marlon Brando when a Stanley speaks, but the words of all the actors live long in our hearts when a play is so well etched and finished as this one is by Tennessee Williams. This book is a poor substitute to watching the play but worth all my time reading it and whets my appetite to watch it live sometime soon.
