The story revolves around the complex character of Blanche DuBois, a fading Southern belle with a troubled past, who seeks refuge with her sister Stella and brother-in-law Stanley in New Orleans. As the narrative unfolds, the play delves into themes of desire, mental instability, and the clash of social classes.
