I have seen the film and read the script countless times - I have read all of Tennessee Williams’ plays - I saw the Blair Underwood version several years ago and CANNOT wait for this new performance at BAM. No American drama has so many ghosts - or a more iconic opening. #streetcarnameddesire #tennesseewilliams #drama #theaternerd
