Genesian Theatre By Tennessee Williams Directed by Tom Massey and Meg Girdler3.5 out of 5 fans Streetcar is a really challenging piece of theatre. Thematically, it includes rape, alcoholism, domestic violence. There’s so much packed in and it’s really, really dense. I’ve learned to never expect much from an amateur production (unfortunately, that has been my […]
