Streetcar Named Desire at Williamstown garners harsh review
Opening night at Williamstown theater features Tennessee Williams drama directed by Nikos Psacharopoulos. The critic condemns the production as dull and hackneyed with technical mishaps including two zipper failures and a malfunctioning curtain. Performances by Kowalski and Stella praised, Blanche portrayed poorly by Ronnie Claire Edwards, while Mitch and others receive mixed notes. The reviewer argues the play’s ambivalence and Blanche’s tragic arc are not effectively realized, and jokes about the opening night crowd contrast with the lack of genuine comedy in the production.
