A Street Car Named Desire

a playwright and author who lived and wrote in New Orleans penned a play by the name of " A Street Car Named Desire". I will never forget the play nor its effect on me. I was in high school, my brother in college at a near by university where the theater group was performing the play. My brother invited me and my Mother to see the play and got tickets for us all. I was so excited, it was my first live play and I felt so grown up going on the college campus to anything. I was not prepared for what I saw nor Tennessee Williams raw in you face style of writing. The amateur group did a wonderful job, when Stanely Kowolski yells out Stella!!! I was riveted to my seat. I remember walking out of the theater that night stunned at the raw emotional journey Williams had taken me on. I literally could not speak for hours I was so overcome by it all. I have since see the movie and been moved again, but nothing like that first time as a young high school student at a university production.
