Join a stellar cast for a hothouse melodrama, bursting with a distinctive New Orleans cultural blend of live music onstage, with vocals by Kristal West (featured on Channel 9’s The Voice as part of duo ZK).

Be seduced by Blanche DuBois (Bridie Carter) as she wrestles with the irrepressible Stanley Kowalski (Travis McMahon) in the bitter-sweet, Pulitzer winning masterpiece by Tennessee Williams. A striking work that resonates as strongly today as it did in 1947 for its reverberations on the themes of sex and violence.

Directed by Artistic Director Todd MacDonald this production will be staged in-the-round.

A Streetcar Named Desire
15 October – 12 November 2016
Roundhouse Theatre, La Boite

At once enticing and confronting, this retelling will upend fairy-tale expectations, disturbingly blurring the boundaries of good and evil, beauty and ugliness, truth and lies, trust and betrayal, killer and prey.

Four musicians and four extraordinary singer/actors from styles spanning opera to rock join forces to create a musical and theatrical world that is sensual, immersive and evocative.

Audiences will be up close and in-the-round with the sweat and muscle; blood and poison; sweet apples, shards of glass and moonlight. In the intimacy of the Roundhouse under the direction of Opera Queensland’s Lindy Hume, with enchanting music by Zulya Kamalova set to Suzie Miller’s poetic text, this contemporary collaboration is entertaining and erotic, with a heart as dark as ebony.

Don’t bring the children.
