"A Streetcar Named Desire"
"A Streetcar Named Desire" Presented by Stillwater Zephyr Theatre at Stillwater Zephyr Theatre Jul 19 - Aug 04, 2019 What happens when your identity, all you thought you were, turns out to be nothing more than a chasing after the wind? How do you move on when the chasm between the identity you present to the world and the real you is exposed for all to see? To where do you turn and what unsavory qualities erupt from the heart when the pain of life becomes unbearable? But for the grace of God, we all have the capacity to plumb the depths of depravity and despair. While there is much to be mined about human nature from the characters in A Streetcar Named Desire, these are the questions we hope to provoke with this production. |
