The Almeida theatre’s sold out production of A Streetcar Named Desire, starring Oscar nominee Paul Mescal, is to transfer to London’s West End. It will run for six weeks at the Phoenix theatre from 20 March.
Mescal, who has been nominated for an Oscar for best actor for his performance in Aftersun, plays Stanley Kowalski in the revival of Tennessee Williams’ 1947 play set in New Orleans. Also reprising their roles will be Anjana Vasan (as Stanley’s wife, Stella), Patsy Ferran (as Blanche DuBois) and Dwane Walcott (as Mitch).
