FRIENDLY ALIEN BOOKS x SCRANTON FRINGE: DRAMA BOOK CLUB
A Streetcar Named Desire (Tennessee Williams)

In tandem with the Scranton Fringe production of THE GLASS MENAGERIE (April 9–11), we’re launching a new Drama Book Club—and we’re starting with one of the most iconic American plays of the 20th century: A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE.

About the play:
When Blanche DuBois arrives in New Orleans to stay with her sister Stella and brother-in-law Stanley, the cramped apartment becomes a pressure cooker. Old stories clash with hard truths. Desire, pride, class, and survival collide—until what’s said (and what’s hidden) can’t stay contained anymore. It’s funny, brutal, tender, and relentlessly alive. Please be aware that this play features/discusses such topics as sexual violence, mental health, and other mature themes.

About the author:
Tennessee Williams wrote with uncommon empathy for people on the edge—dreamers, outsiders, and anyone trying to keep their dignity intact while the world tightens around them. His plays are rich with lyric language, sharp humor, and characters who feel painfully human.
Join us at Friendly Alien Books for a lively, welcoming discussion—plus we’ll read aloud select scenes together, so get your actor voices ready (no experience needed)!

FREE AND OPEN TO ALL!

WHEN:
Wednesday, March 25th
sips and snacks at 6:00 pm/discussion at 6:30 pm
