Scottish Ballet have created an arresting fusion of drama and dance to bring Tennessee Williams’s famous drama to the Sadler’s Wells stage.

Set in the stifling heat of New Orleans, fading Southern belle Blanche DuBois moves in with her sister Stella and her brutish husband Stanley in an attempt to flee her troubled past. But unconvinced by her pretensions and delusions of grandeur, Stanley sets out to destroy her.

Scottish Ballet is one of Sadler’s Wells’ most popular visiting companies. Its repertoire includes new versions of the classics, seminal works from the 20th century modern ballet canon, signature pieces by current choreographers and new commissions.

A Streetcar Named Desire is suitable for theatregoers aged 12 and older.
