Fakta

“A witty, insightful probe of Tennessee Williams’ most famous play in all its variations” from the author of All About ‘All About Eve’ (The Dallas Morning News).

Exhaustively researched and almost flirtatiously opinionated, When Blanche Met Brando is everything a fan needs to know about the groundbreaking New York and London stage productions of Williams’ Streetcar as well as the classic Brando/Leigh film. Sam Staggs’ interviews with all the living cast members of each production will enhance what’s known about the play and movie, and help make this book satisfying as both a pop culture read and as a deeper piece of thinking about a well-known story.

Readers will come away from this book delighted with the juicy behind-the-scenes stories about cast, director, playwright and the various productions and will also renew their curiosity about the connection between the role of Blanche and Vivien Leigh’s insatiable sexual appetite and later descent into breakdown. They may also—for the first time—question whether the character of Blanche was actually “mad” or whether her anxiousness was symptomatic of another disorder.

A Streetcar Named Desire is one of the most haunting and most-studied modern plays. Staggs’ new book will fascinate fans and enrich newcomers’ understanding of its importance in American theater and movie history.

“A comprehensive minihistory of 20th-century American stage and screen and [Staggs] doesn’t skimp on tabloid juice.” —Publishers Weekly

“Opinionated, revealing, constantly entertaining account of the birth and growth of Tennessee Williams’s most famous play . . . Everything you ever wanted to know about a masterpiece.” —Kirkus Reviews
