A Streetcar Named Desire ~ Kennedy Center

So we are set for a wonderful afternoon at the Kennedy Center this weekend for A Streetcar Named Desire. But once the show is over, wouldnÂÂ't it be nice to grab a bite to eat and talk about our wonderful theater experience? YES! So I have made reservations for us at 5PM after the show at the Circle Bistro, in the One Washington Circle Hotel . This restaurant is located just 3 blocks from the Kennedy Center and 1/2 block from the Foggy Bottom Metro. We can all walk to the restaurant after the show or take a free shuttle to the Metro and walk 1/2 block. So if you park at the Kennedy Center, or take the Metro, this will be convenient for all. We have several options to choose from their menu, from appetizers, to their bar menu, to a full meal. Please be sure to bring cash, it is easier deal with the check that way. Now, about this show: Cate Blanchett stars as Blanche DuBois in the U.S. premiere of Sydney Theatre Company's production of Tennessee Williams's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama A Streetcar Named Desire. Directed by Liv Ullmann. Andrew Upton and Cate Blanchett, Artistic Directors, Sydney Theatre Company "Cate Blanchett is gloriously different a prize worth fighting, scheming, dying for." --Time Magazine Programmed by Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton in their first year as Artistic Directors of Sydney Theatre Company, A Streetcar Named Desire brings the sizzling 1947 Tennessee Williams drama to life under the direction of acclaimed actress Liv Ullmann. The Academy AwardÂÂ-winning Blanchett stars as the pretentious and pestering Blanche Dubois, one of the most challenging and nuanced characters in all of 20th-century stage drama and a role coveted by actresses everywhere. With a story that pits the false gentility of the southern belle Blanche against the earthiness of her working class sister Stella and her short-tempered brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski, A Streetcar Named Desire is a collision of character that keeps audiences holding on tight from beginning to end. "Tennessee Williams's play tears away the veils and masks to get to the heart of these characters. Which is exactly what you might say is a hallmark of Liv Ullmann's work. We think this could make for a ripper combination." I am looking forward to this and hope you can join us!
