A Streetcar Named Desire DANCE Scottish Ballet have taken on quite a challenge in adapting Tennessee Williams’ famous play. It’s a notoriously dialogue- driven text, but the company has managed to surmount that problem with a spot of canny casting – Streetcar’s tragic central figure Blanche DuBois is played by Nancy Meckler, who also writes and co- directs the production. See feature, page 114. Theatre Royal, Glasgow, Wed 11–Sat 14 Apr; Festival Theatre, Edinburgh, Wed 18–Sat 21 Apr.
