Streetcar Named Desire at Huron Playhouse Misses Spark
Rick Reiff reviews a less than spectacular Huron Playhouse production of A Streetcar Named Desire. Weak first act acting by Ronald Poole Hammel improves later, while Mona Alyce Stender and Barbara Schaps give strong turns as Blanche and Stella. Technical flaws, miscasting touches, and static period costumes mar the show.
