Anderson gets hot and steamy in New Orleans

A chance to see the Young Vic’s acclaimed 2014 production of the Tennessee Williams masterpiece. Gillian Anderson (right) steals the show as Blanche DuBois, the Southern belle whose life crumbles after she moves into her sister Stella’s marital home in New Orleans. Vanessa Kirby plays the emotionally torn Stella while Ben Foster (right) steps into Marlon Brando’s formidable shoes as Stella’s crude bully of a husband. With an ingenious revolving set and powerhouse performances, Benedict Andrews’ contemporary production of this emotionally and sexually charged tragedy is not to be missed.
