Streetcar in performance

Shame we could never go to this! Sounds good.





Read the review then answer the questions below - thoughtfully - for some useful AO5. 

The revolving stage helped to highlight key moments. Which moment do you think would really have benefited from this trick of the stage?

What sort of mood/atmosphere of the original setting might the revolving stage have captured... and lost?

The article applauds the actors for avoiding one dimensional portrayals of 'Blanche as a cracked Southern belle and Stanley as a coarse brute.' What sort of nuances do Gillian Anderson and Ben Foster seem to have brought to their roles?

Why might updating it to a more modern, 21st century setting seem like a bad idea?
