In Stanley Kowalski and Blanche DuBois, Tennessee Williams' great Pulitzer Prize winning classic offers two characters who have challenged performers and fascinated audiences ever since Marlon Brando and Jessica Tandy first brought them to life in the play's 1947 Broadway debut.
The clash between Stanley's raw, macho brutality and Blanche's fading Southern gentility drives a passionate, compelling, steamy drama of delusion, repression, desire and desolation.
Directed by Anita Baltutis and not to be missed!

Research Tuesday - "From Sodom and Gomorrah to Kath and Kim: Urban reform through the ages"

Email this event

Since ancient times, cities have been perceived as everything from vibrant marketplaces to protective sanctuaries - but one prevalent interpretation has been the city as a place of sin. The urge to reverse urban wickedness has been the great catalyst to urban design.

This lecture presents an eclectic survey of ambitious city planning fuelled in equal parts by innovative utopian visions as well as the banal suburban dreams of Kath and Kim. Adelaide's current struggle with sin of an environmental sort concludes the presentation.

Dr Nancy Pollock-Ellwand is the Professor of Landscape Architecture, and Head and Chair of the School of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Design. Her research centres on landscape history.
