Stella and Blanche
“Stella and Blanche” takes us back to eight years before the beginning of “A Streetcar Named Desire”, where we find a much younger pair of sisters.
Stella is a high school senior, unsure about her future. But she is certain she does not want to become merely someone’s wife. She questions her older sister about boys, sexuality, and how to take her place in the world,
Ultimately, we can see some of Blanche’s darker impulses begin to develop, as does Stella, which gives Stella even more of a motivation to find her way out.
Cast
STELLA, 17 years old, sensitive, a bit of a tomboy, both loves and fears her older sister, BLANCHE. BLANCHE, 22 years old, hyper-sexual, controlling and grandiose, mischievous, and sometimes a little cruel.
