A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
New York: New Directions 1947. First edition. Near fine in a near fine jacket. Signed first printing of Williams's most enduring play a beautiful copy in the iconic Lustig-designed dust jacket. The broken dreams of a Southern belle are dramatized in Williams's best known play a hit on Broadway with Jessica Tandy and Marlon Brando in the lead roles both then virtually unknown. After its brilliant run on stage STREETCAR went through a groundbreaking adaptation into film keeping many of the same people involved: Brando garnered his first Oscar nomination in the film starring alongside Vivian Leigh. According to Geoffrey Shurlock who was involved in the Production Code Administration that monitored the morality of motion pictures STREETCAR changed the landscape of how films could communicate drama for adult audiences: "Tennessee Williams was something new to movies. The stage got a shock from Tennessee Williams. We got twice the shock. Now we know that a good deal of what we decide in censoring movies is not morality but taste. It began with STREETCAR" quoted in Palmer and Bray. This first edition has since become famous in its own right for the brilliant pink jacket design by Alvin Lustig a high point of New Directions' publications. 9'' x 6''. Original pink pictorial boards with design by Alvin Lustig. In original unclipped $2.75 pink pictorial dust jacket echoing board design. 171 1 pages. Signed by Williams on front free endpaper. Book with mild rubbing to top and bottom edges as typical. Tiny chip to top edge of front panel of jacket. Some faint uneven sunning to spine front and rear panel. Top edge a little dusty.

Produced by Irene Mayer Selznick and directed by Elia Kazan the original stage production opened in New Haven on October 30 1947: the program for that first performance is present here with three ticket stubs from the Shubert Theatre. The show then moved to Boston and Philadelphia before arriving on Broadway where Tandy would win the Tony for her performance as the fragile self-deluding Blanche DuBois: "Whoever you are - I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." Wolcott Gibbs in a rave review for The New Yorker regretted that "there is no way . . . to convey the effect Mr. Williams achieves in his last act of a mind desperately retreating into the beautiful crazy world it has built for itself." A wonderful association copy with related ephemera from the very first performance of A Streetcar Named Desire. Single volume measuring 9 x 6 inches: 171 1. Original pink pictorial paper boards original unclipped pink pictorial dust jacket designed by Alvin Lustig.

A Streetcar Named Desire
New York: New Directions 1947. First Edition. Fine. The most famous post–modern American play. Fine in publisher’s pink boards and near fine matching pink dustjacket a superb copy. Cover and jacket design by Alvin Lustig. Reference: Crandell A 5.1.a. Basis of the play and then the motion picture classic both directed by Elia Kazan and both starring Marlon Brando Kim Hunter and Karl Malden Vivian Leigh replaced Jessica Tandy in the film. The play won the Pulitzer Prize. Brando Leigh and Hunter won Oscars for their performances in the film. Custom half morocco box. A pivotal work in American theater marking a decisive shift in mid-century dramatic sensibilities through its unflinching portrayal of class conflict sexuality and psychological fragility beneath the veneer of post-war American society. The play's exploration of Blanche DuBois' tragic collision with Stanley Kowalski's brutal realism illuminates the broader cultural tensions between fading Southern aristocracy and emerging industrial working-class values at a moment when American identity was being profoundly reconfigured. Williams' innovative use of expressionistic techniques—including the haunting blue piano symbolic lighting and poetic dialogue—revolutionized theatrical language while his courageous engagement with previously taboo subjects such as mental illness homosexuality and sexual violence challenged the boundaries of censorship during an era of rigid social conformity. Through its visceral emotional impact and psychological complexity "Streetcar" helped establish American drama as a serious literary form capable of confronting the deepest contradictions of the human condition ultimately serving as a bridge between Tennessee Williams' own Southern Gothic sensibilities and the psychological realism that would come to dominate American theater in subsequent decades.

WILLIAMS, Tenessee
A Streetcar Named Desire
SIGNED by Tenessee Williams no personalization on the front flyleaf a highly collectible first edition copy one of only 5080 copies of his Pulitzer Prize winning drama of faded promiscuous Blanche DuBois vs her brutally sexy brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski still celebrated 75 years after its Broadway opening as one of the finest achievements in the American theatre. A highspot of theatre and cinema Streetcar launched the careers of Marlon Brando Jessica Tandy Kim Hunter and Karl Malden and solidified the position of Tennessee Williams as one of the most important young playwrights of his generation as well as that of Elia Kazan as the greatest American stage director of the '40s and '50s. Of his Broadway performance in Streetcar Brando remarked: "What I remember most about a Streetcar Named Desire was the emotional grind of acting in it six nights and two afternoons a week. Try to imagine what it was like walking on stage at 8:30 every night having to yell scream cry break dishes kick the furniture punch the walls and experience the same intense wrenching emotions night after night trying each time to evoke in audiences the same emotions I felt. It was exhausting.it was emotionally draining wearisome mentally oppressive and after a few weeks I wanted out of it." Original publisher's pictorial pink paper over boards a few spots of rubbing at ends spine sunned; original unclipped dust jacket spined sunned discrete expert restoration along edges. FIRST EDITION SIGNED BY WILLIAMS on front free endpaper. No other writings markings or pastedowns in the book except for author's signature! The author's first Pulitzer Prize–winning play which Williams himself considered his best play and is one of the most important American plays of the last century Devlin Conversations with Tennessee Williams p. 50.
