One of the most critically acclaimed plays of the twentieth century, and Tennessee Williams's most popular work, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE was the winner of the 1948 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It still ranks among William's most performed plays, and has inspired many adaptations in other forms, notably a critically acclaimed film that was released in 1951.​
