BWW Review: A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE at Williamstown Theatre Festival on Audible Theatre.
by Marc Savitt - Dec 3, 2020
The presentation of the 2020 season at this time, in the audio only format, represents a creative approach to keeping the arts alive during the pandemic. The innovative solution, a collaboration spearheaded by WTF Artistic Director Mandy Greenfield, and Audible Artistic Producer Kate Navin provides employment for the artists and a body of work that, through Audible, can be accessed by a much broader (global) audience than traditional seasons. This is different to be sure - what isn’t during these unprecedented times? It is a bit like taking a step back to those “simpler times” when families gathered around the wireless and listened to radio plays. It may take a moment to adjust, but this production of STREETCAR stands up and will draw listeners in. I look forward to the additional six titles in the season scheduled to be released over the coming weeks.

Review: A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE Examines Sultry Sexual Tension and Scandalous Behavior in 1947 New Orleans
by Shari Barrett - Jun 2, 2019
there is an excellent staging of Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, directed by Jack Heller as a visiting production at the Odyssey Theatre, presented by Dance On Productions in association with Linda Toliver and Gary Guidinger, that will allow you to forget how much time passes due to the skill of its playwright, understanding by its director, the brilliance of its cast, and most importantly, Joel Daavid's incredible multi-level scenic design which fills every possible inch of the stage with not only the two-room Kowalski apartment but also several outdoor spaces including a winding New Orleans-style wrought iron staircase leading up to their neighbor's front-door balcony. And from the moment I walked in and sat down, it was easy to hear all the audience accolades rightly being thrown Daavid's way.
