Sassafras & Co. proudly presents its first full-scale production: A Streetcar Named Desire. A tempest of lust, lies, and longing, Tennessee Williams’ masterpiece is reborn in a bold, visceral staging that will leave you breathless
A Collaboration Worth the Wait
We are proud to announce the long-awaited collaboration between Co-Directors Chris McGregor and Dawn Ewen. Their past productions and reviews have highlighted the strength of their partnership. Audiences and critics alike have praised their ability to create visually stunning, emotionally resonant, and thoroughly entertaining productions. They bring a shared vision that blends technical excellence with theatrical magic, ensuring that each show is an experience that will keep you thinking and talking at post show cocktails.
About the Show
In the sweltering heat of the French Quarter, fading Southern belle Blanche DuBois seeks refuge in the cramped apartment of her sister, Stella, and her brash, magnetic husband, Stanley Kowalski. As tensions rise and truths unravel, the intoxicating mix of desire and destruction ignites a firestorm of emotions that can’t be contained.
Raw, seductive, and unrelenting, A Streetcar Named Desire pulls you into a world where the lines between fantasy and reality blur, and the echoes of longing linger long after the final curtain falls.
The Experience
Sassafras & Co. invites you to immerse yourself in the drama like never before. Our production blends immersive elements, atmospheric staging, and evocative music to create a sensory experience that crackles with electricity.
Intimate, up-close performances that bring you face-to-face with Blanche, Stanley, and Stella.
A moody, heat-infused soundscape that pulses with the heartbeat of the French Quarter.
Gritty, breathtaking performances from a cast that will leave you spellbound.
