On A Streetcar Going Nowhere

Date of Review:  Mar 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you like reading about total tragedy of a sympathetic character, you may revel in this play. I don't.
Review: I don?t know about you, but when I watch (or read) a play, I need at least a slim chance of hope for one of the main characters in the end. Otherwise, the utter despair and frustration they experience will infuriate me and make me wish I?d never...

Where Taxis Fear to Tread

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: This powerful, shadowy play takes an unflinching look at the painful and violent degeneration of a woman and her sanity. Love it or hate it, no one feels lukewarm.
Review: " They told me to take a street-car named Desire." - Blanche DuBois

Brutal, dark, nightmarish, a vision of a world without hope, these are the things critics of A Streetcar Named Desire would have readers and audiences believe about the...

"I don't want realism. I want magic."

Date of Review:  Jan 10, 2003
The Bottom Line: The best play I've ever read, and you can read it within a couple of hours.
Review: Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize winning play tells the story of fading Southern Belle Blanche Dubois and her last attempts for stability and happiness. She's kind of what I imagine Scarlett O'Hara would end up as, penniless and facing middle age...

not worth reading

Date of Review:  Jan 17, 2000
Review: Maybe this is not the most chic opinion out there, but I did not relish reading this play. I don't care how great Marlon Brando looks on the cover, that is the only selling point I see. A Street Car Named Desire is overall a depressing story. There...

An excellent play

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: Short and easy to understand with a profound theme.
Review: I had heard so much about Tennessee Williams, but never had the chance to read his most famous work, "A Streetcar Named Desire". Luckily, I got the chance when I was pressed for time to read a book on my English class's reading list.

This Won A Pulitzer?!

Date of Review:  Nov 21, 2000
Review: I know that I lot of people are gonna hate me for saying this, but "A Streetcar Named Desire" is the worst play I have ever read. The one thing that continued to plague my mind was who the hell thought this play was good enough to receive the...

Southern Environment done well

Date of Review:  May 9, 2005
Review: this book (play) is a very written book about Stanley, Stella and Blanche. It is basically about a sister moving in with her younger sister and bother-in-law, and problems are produced by the brother-in-law (Stanley) and Blanche (Stella's sister)...
