Trying to leave a troubled past behind her, fading southern belle Blanche DuBois moves into her sister Stella’s New Orleans apartment. Stella’s brutish husband Stanley sees that Blanche is not what she appears to be, and sets out to destroy her...  


The critical consensus

Scottish Ballet’s production of A Streetcar Named Desire is a triumph, a clever and sophisticated piece of contemporary art in which dance and drama are perfectly balanced. It is vibrant, it is emotional, it is shocking, it is truthful and it is heartbreakingly brilliant as it delivers Williams’ vision with the intensity and emotion it rightly deserves.

*****Susan Lowes, All Edinburgh Theatre, 19/03/2015

This is a production which breathes new life into Williams’ classic tale and one which will leave a lasting impression long after the curtain has gone down.

****(*)Lauren Humphreys, The Public Reviews, 19/03/2015

This talented company demonstrates a boundless ability to execute Ochoa’s technically challenging choreography, and Meckler’s astute and deeply moving portrayal of characters whose desires outstrip their circumstance.

*****Kelly Apter, The List, 20/03/2015

This production is raw in intensity and breath taking in execution – a must-see.

*****Isabella Fraser, Edinburgh Spotlight, 20/03/2015

To have re-created the power and emotion of this classic American play into 100 minutes of contemporary dance is an extraordinary artistic achievement. I cannot describe it better myself - the performance is “ like watching a film, musical, play and ballet all at once!”

*****Vivien Devlin, Edinburgh Guide, 22/03/2015
