Milton Players to stage American classic “A Streetcar Named Desire”

Local drama group, The Milton Players, will present Tennessee Williams’s classic, A Streetcar Named Desire, beginning November 5.

Directed by Frederick Fairbanks, the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama deals with a culture clash between two iconic characters, Blanche DuBois, a fading relic of the Old South, and Stanley Kowalski, a rising member of the industrial, urban working class. Set in New Orleans, A Streetcar Named Desire ranks as one of the great works of modern theater.

Milton residents are well-represented in the cast. Pat Brawley, Brian Moore-Ward, Jennifer Walsh and the Milton Times’ own Mike Whalen will be seen on stage in this production.
