A Streetcar Named Desire at Queen's University Belfast

Binaural

Did anyone else catch this performance? It was fantastic, the acting was second to none. The reason I was really blown away was because of the twist to this particular performance, there was two actresses playing Blanche DuBois. When I first heard of this I was so very sceptical but after seeing it acted out I must agree that it was a good choice, the fact that two actresses play Blanche really helps to better explore and convey her mental breakdown. I also thought the way that Stanley was played was fantastic, instead of the usual built macho actor playing him, he was played by a normal looking guy and it really helped to better convey his charcter. Anyone see it?

I'm not sure, I am going to see if the university recorded it and see if I can get my hands on a copy, if I do I'm sure I could send you a copy.
Its a really powerful experience, things such as Stanley's violence is so much more vivid when watching it acted out, I was stunned, but I'll see if I can get ya a copy
