By: Tennessee Williams

Narrated by: Amy Brenneman, Fred Coffin, Vincent D'Onofrio, Jamie Hanes, Glenne Headly, Lyvingston Holmes, Armando Molina, Rondi Reed, David Selby, Danny Strauss

Tennessee Williams’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece is one of the most enduring, explosive works in theater. Blanche DuBois, once a well-heeled Southern belle but now alcoholic and destitute, arrives in New Orleans to stay with her sister Stella and her brutish brother-in-law Stanley. And as Stanley terrorizes the fragile Blanche, reality slips slowly away from her.

Recorded at KCRW, Santa Monica in May 1998.
