NT Live presents the Young Vic and Joshua Andrews co-production of
A Streetcar Named Desire
Running Time: 2 hours and 55 minutes with a very short interval
BBFC rating 15. Contains scenes featuring sexual violence and domestic abuse.
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.
