A Streetcar Named Desire is the latest in our live theatre on screen series where you can enjoy an intimate theatrical experience in our red velvet-clad auditorium.
Gillian Anderson (X Files and Sex Education), Vanessa Kirby (The Crown), and Ben Foster (Lone Survivor) lead the live theatre recording 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.
