A Streetcar Named Desire is an American play by Tenessee Williams. It won the pulitzer prize in 1948 for best Drama. The story chronicles a cultural clash between Blanche Duboise and Stanley Kowalski. Blanche Duboise was a pretenious, alcoholic southerner whose obsessive addiction to virtue and need to be seen as "good" hid her alcoholic nature and shielded her from reality. Stanley Kowalski was an overpowering, crude, brutish inner-city immigrant and husband of Blanche's sister Stella. The play spawned a movie in 1951, and later became an opera in 1955.
