About Scottish Ballet: "A Streetcar Named Desire"
Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire" Adapted Into a Sexy Ballet
Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning drama "A Streetcar Named Desire" seethes with sexuality and grit in Scottish Ballet's 2012 contemporary dance adaptation, now making its Washington, D.C. debut at the Kennedy Center Opera House. During one steamy summer in New Orleans' French Quarter, a vulnerable Blanche DuBois seeks shelter at the apartment of her pregnant sister Stella and Stella's husband Stanley. Fragile Blanche and temperamental Stanley immediately clash, and tensions further escalate when the two find themselves alone in the house after Stella heads to the hospital to give birth. The story's suspenseful take on lust, desire and betrayal is further enhanced by the sensuality and honesty of dance and a specially commissioned jazz-inspired score. Conceptualized by theater and film director Nancy Meckler, and choreographed by international dance star and National Dance Award (UK) winner Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, Scottish Ballet's "A Streetcar Named Desire" is a not-to-be-missed take on an American classic.Comments
