The Pulitzer Prize and Drama Critics Circle Award winning play—reissued with an introduction by Arthur Miller ( Death of a Salesman and The Crucible ), and Williams' essay "The World I Live In." It is a very short list of 20th-century American plays that continue to have the same power and impact as when they first appeared—57 years after its Broadway premiere, Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire is one of those plays. The story famously recounts how the faded and promiscuous Blanche DuBois is pushed over the edge by her sexy and brutal brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski. Streetcar launched the careers of Marlon Brando, Jessica Tandy, Kim Hunter and Karl Malden, and solidified the position of Tennessee Williams as one of the most important young playwrights of his generation, as well as that of Elia Kazan as the greatest American stage director of the '40s and '50s. Who better than America's elder statesman of the theater, Williams' contemporary Arthur Miller, to write as a witness to the lightning that struck American culture in the form of A Streetcar Named Desire ? Miller's rich perspective on Williams' singular style of poetic dialogue, sensitive characters, and dramatic violence makes this a unique and valuable new edition of A Streetcar Named Desire . This definitive new edition will also include Williams' essay "The World I Live In," and a brief chronology of the author's life.
田納西·威廉斯(Tennessee Williams,1911-1983)是美國20世紀最偉大的三大戲劇傢之一(另外兩位是尤金·奧尼爾和阿瑟·米勒),同時也是全世界範圍內最重要的劇作傢之一。1948年和1955年分彆以其《欲望號街車》及《熱鐵皮屋頂上的貓》兩度贏得普利策奬和戲劇評論奬;《玻璃動物園》和《鬣蜥之夜》也分彆於1945年和1961年拿下紐約戲劇評論奬;1952年的玫瑰黥紋》獲得托尼奬最佳戲劇奬殊榮。
美国南部的新奥尔良,有一条叫埃里西安的街道,街角有一幢灰白的两层楼房。住在楼里的人们时常能听见破旧的电车轰隆隆地从街上驶过。那天,一楼的一对姐妹议论起了男女之间的悲欢离合。妹妹斯黛拉把男女情爱比喻成“那种暗地里发生的事儿”,姐姐布兰琪说得更坦率:“你说的的...

评分awed. hypersensitivity
评分經典不必多言
评分Theater History and Theory - Tragedy (1). "The opposite of death is desire." 要反復研讀的文本。
评分最後的自我訪談也好棒……三大劇作傢讀下來的感覺,奧尼爾是沉沉的黑夜和霧,阿瑟米勒是利劍與重錘,田納西威廉斯是被碾碎的玻璃塑像。另外,有一個讀原劇本纔感覺非常強烈的點,布蘭奇說在Belle Reve的時候,死亡的對麵是欲望,她悄悄跑齣去和兵營的男孩子約會,然後有卡車來,把那些男孩子像是collecting daisies那樣帶走。讀到daisies的時候突然想到pushing daisies含義就是死亡,欲望和死亡的交織在這個錶達當中突然聯係在一起,太棒瞭
