A Streetcare Named Desire Reviews

In: Project News|Rachel Weisz News

1 Aug 2009

The New York Times:
Rachel Weisz appears slowly, haltingly, at the start of the new London revival of “A Streetcar Named Desire,” her Blanche DuBois stepping tentatively into an alien landscape that on some level this fragile soul seems to know may finish her off. But in precisely the sort of exhilarating paradox on which the theater thrives, I’ve never seen a Blanche so fully in command of the contradictions that drive the heroine of Tennessee Williams’s play. Audiences at the Donmar Warehouse have until Oct. 3 to see for themselves.

Reuters:
Weisz brilliantly succeeds in a role that was originated by Jessica Tandy on Broadway in 1947 and played in 1949 in the West End by Vivien Leigh, who went on to win her second Oscar for the Elia Kazan movie version opposite Marlon Brando.

Daily Mail Online:
Rachel Weisz gives a ‘mesmerising’ performance as Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire
