A Streetcar

Based on 'A Streetcar Named Desire' by Tennessee Williams

Australian Premiere / Exclusive to Adelaide

There was theatre before Krzysztof Warlikowski - and then there is theatre after Krzysztof Warlikowski.

Europe's great avant garde director, Warlikowski, and one of Canada's finest theatre-makers, Wajdi Mouawad, put a controversial 21st century spin on Tennessee Williams' much-loved erican masterpiece. The result: a production that divided Paris.

At the centre of the maelstrom is France's most enduring and respected film actress, Isabelle Huppert, who takes to the tage for the famous Théâtre de L'europe in a brave and haunting performance.

This is Streetcar like you've never seen before and unlikely to see again.

Find out what all the fuss is about.
