A Streetcar Named Desire (15)

National Theatre Live

,Cinema 2

Gillian Anderson and Vanessa Kirby play sisters struggling to co-habit with the shadow of a brutish husband and brother-in-law looming over them, filmed for the big screen. 

Gillian Anderson (Sex Education), Vanessa Kirby (The Crown), and Ben Foster (Lone Survivor) lead the cast in Tennessee Williams’ timeless masterpiece, returning to cinemas.

As Blanche’s fragile world crumbles, she turns to her sister Stella for solace – but her downward spiral brings her face to face with the brutal, unforgiving Stanley Kowalski.

From visionary director Benedict Andrews, this acclaimed production was filmed live during a sold-out run at the Young Vic Theatre in 2014.
