One Sea - Tramline Desire

A Streetcar Named Desire is a top classic of the Amerikaanse Realisme, and established Marlon Brando’s name as one of the greatest actors of the so-called method acting school, where the actor completely immerses himself in his character. Oscar nomination material, then. Maar de Tramlijn is not a nice, light, and airy play. It tackles some of the most unpleasant social and psychological themes: Narcissism, alcoholism, domestic violence, and rape. Yet it is one of the most performed and beloved plays in the theater. Precisely because it is so truthful. Because all roles are such a challenge for actors, who can shine through the lifelike dialogues and character drawings. Through the emotions, which crash onto the stage like whirlwinds. And through the final chord, brutal and heartbreaking. The play is 75 years old. And still a contemporary cry from the heart. A classic, then.
