Energetic, blunt, cruel and intense. Patsy Ferran’s acting was phenomenal with brilliant delivery. How the world exploited a helpless girl who just couldn’t face the bitter pill. How an arrogant princess fell into the dirt, tremble in the dump. She’s less ridiculous and more pitiful. This street is full of helplessness and day dreamers, no one is superior in any way. Men are animals after all. Some scenes are slightly too loud and chaotic for meRead more →

A spare production that is as brave as it is stunning. Paul Mescal is a real surprise as a totally exceptional Stanley whilst Patsy Ferran established her place as possibly the most talented actress of her generation. The use of the accompanying percussion really focuses the attention and at times enhances the violent outbursts. The ending is more violent than most productions but tragic and moving. Unmissable.Read more →

Patsy Ferran was a true star, Paul Mescal wasn’t bad either but the production seemed to be directed by a GCSE student who by all efforts wanted to outshine the actors and the play itself. Also, why all American plays have to show painfully fake American accents and why do they need to pour water from the ceiling just because they have that feature available…Read more →

A great (probably one of the best) adaptation of a classic play. The actors are extraordinary talented. The atmosphere was scary and emotional, you will definitely need some time to process your feelings after the show. It could only have been less extra loud sounds and extra long dialogues and pauses.Read more →

The Almeida’s take on A Streetcar Named Desire was phenomenal and definitely deserved all the awards it has won so far. All of the actors on stage were amazing and the minimalist set really focused the audience onto the feelings of Blanche Dubois and her downfall.Read more →

Paul Mescal was mesmerizing and terrifying. Patsy Ferran delicate in her vulnerability and wonderfully flawed. Breathtaking performances and staging.Read more →
