A Streetcar Named Desire at Laurel Little Theatre

It's the Pulitzer Prize winning play written by Mississippi native Tennessee Williams, and features Laurel's own most famous fictional character, Blanche DuBois. Some say Blanche was based on a notorious real-life teacher from our area that was run out of town because of her shady reputation. She ended up living in New Orleans' steamy French Quarter with her sister and brother-in-law, Stella and Stanley Kowalski. Blanche is a fading relic of the Old South, but a classic Southern belle who delivers that famous line "Whoever you are, I have always depended on the kindness of strangers."
