'Streetcar' arrives to America

After finishing its run at the Sydney Theatre Company, their production of 'A Streetcar Named Desire' in which Cate stars as Blanche DuBois, has arrived in America, starting with a run in Washington. 'Streetcar' can be seen at the Kennedy Center until November 21. After that, the production travels to N.Y.C.'s Brooklyn Academy of Music, where it will run from November 27 — December 20.

The premiere produced some favorable reviews, of which some excerpts can be found below!

"Blanchett has clearly worked to master the fluttery fragility and affected refinement of this damaged Southern belle (...), yet what makes this portrait most compelling isn't the hyper-neurotic body language — how Blanchett manically powders her nose or frantically grasps for a bottle of liquor — but the emotional candor and intensity the actress brings to her character's words and expressions."
USA Today

"If Cate Blanchett's nerve-shattering turn as Blanche DuBois doesn't knock the wind out of you, then there is nothing on a stage that can blow you away."
