The acclaimed London revival of Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire starring Paul Mescal, Patsy Ferran and Anjana Vasan will transfer to the Brooklyn Academy of Music for a limited run beginning February 28, 2025, with the Off Broadway run continuing through April 6.

Directed by Rebecca Frecknall, Streetcar will play BAM‘s Harvey Theater following a return London engagement that begins February 3.

The Streetcar London cast won multiple awards, including Olivier Awards for Best Actor (Mescal), Supporting Actress (for Anjana Vasan, who plays Stella) and the Olivier for Best Revival. Ferran, who plays Blanche, won London’s Critics Circle Award for her performance.

The creative team includes: Scenic design by Madeleine Girling; Lighting design by Lee Curran; Sound design by Peter Rice; Costume design by Merle Hensel; Composition by Angus MacRae.
