Such a powerful play! The character of Blanche du Bois, one of the most stunning roles out there for middle-aged women, is flawlessly and vulnerably written. Her frailty against the backdrop of the crassness, crudeness and insensitivity of the male characters is poignant and painful.

    This book is brillantly funny. From "STELLA" to the end, this book had me hooked. I'd love to see this one performed.
