Rebecca Frecknall's 2022 London revival of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire crosses the pond to Off-Broadway's Brooklyn Academy of Music beginning February 28. The run will continue through April 6 at the company's Harvey Theater.
Normal People star Paul Mescal is reprising his Olivier-winning performance as Stanley Kowalski alongside Anjana Vasan's Olivier-winning Stella. Also reprising their performances from the 2022 Almeida Theatre run are Patsy Ferren as Blanche Du Bois, and Dwane Walcott as Harold 'Mitch' Mitchell.
The cast also includes Eduardo Ackerman as Pablo Gonzales, Janet Etuk as Eunice Hubbel, Alexander Eliot as Steve Hubbel, Gabriela Garcia as Flower Seller-Nurse-Singer, Tom Penn as Doctor-Drummer, and Jabez Sykes as Young Collector. Understudies Rob Dempsey, Francesca Knight, Curtis Patrick, and Constanza Ruff round out the company.
The revival of the Tennessee Williams play features scenic design by Madeleine Girling, lighting design by Lee Curran, sound design by Peter Rice, costume design by Merle Hensel, and music by Angus MacRae. The U.S. run is being produced by ATG Productions and Almeida Theatre, Gavin Kalin Productions, Wessex Grove, GGRS and LAMedia Fund with Rupert Gavin/Mallory Factor, Francesca Moody Productions, and Oliver Roth.
The Off-Broadway run follows a West End encore run that played the Noël Coward Theatre February 3-22. Director Frecknall is currently represented on Broadway with Cabaret.
