A Streetcar Named Desire play script, circa 1973
Play script in pinned pale green wrappers, 146 pages. Quarto. Mechanically produced sheets printed on the rectos only.
Script is for the first Broadway revival of the play, which opened at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre at Lincoln Center in New York City on April 26, 1973, and ran for a total of 110 performances. Produced by the Repertory Theatre of Lincoln Center and directed by Ellis Rabb, the opening night cast included James Farentino, Patricia Conolly, Rosemary Harris, Philip Bosco, Brian Brownlee, Ray Fry, Priscilla Pointer, Dan Sullivan, and Robert Symonds. Rosemary Harris won a Drama Desk Outstanding Performance Award for her role as Blanche DuBois. The revival was a major success, with the original engagement having to be extended, and in May the production broke the then house record for a non-musical at the Beaumont with a week’s gross of $60,797.
