The First Critical Assessments of a Streetcar Named Desire: the Streetcar Tryouts and the Reviewers
FALL 1991 45 The First Critical Assessments of A Streetcar Named Desire: The Streetcar Tryouts and the Reviewers Philip C. Kolin The first review of A Streetcar Named Desire in a New York City paper was not of the Broadway premiere of Williams's play on December 3, 1947, but of the world premiere in New Haven on October 30, 1947. Writing in Variety for November 5, 1947, Bone found Streetcar "a mixture of seduction, sordid revelations and incidental perversion which will be revolting to certain playgoers but devoured with avidity by others. Latter category will predomin ate." Continuing his predictions, he asserted that Streetcar was "important theatre" and that it would be one "trolley that should ring up plenty of fares on Broadway" ("Plays Out of Town"). Like Bone, almost everyone else interested in the history of Streetcar has looked forward to the play's reception on Broadway. Yet one of the most important chapters in Streetcar's stage history has been neglected, that is, the play's tryouts before that momentous Broadway debut. Oddly enough, bibliographies of Williams fail to include many of the Streetcar tryout reviews and surveys of the critical reception of the play commence with the pronouncements found in the New York Theatre Critics' Reviews for the week of December 3, 1947. Such neglect is unfortunate. Streetcar was performed more than a full month and in three different cities before it ever arrived on Broadway. Not only was the play new, so was its producer. Making her debut as a producer with Streetcar, Irene Selznick was one of the powerhouses behind the play.

Since its debut, this masterpiece has enthralled and delighted audiences around the world. And the widow herself, Hanna Glawari, has proved to be a woman of substance for generations. Life at the height of the gilded age, or La Belle Époque, aspired to be merry, lavish, and carefree. However, they were all dancing on the precipice of disaster: the Great War. We recognize it in the irresistible cast of characters who seduce, sway and swoon their way to true love or farewell. And we hear it in the unforgettable melodies of a Polish mazurka, the cancan, and, of course, the indelible “Merry Widow Waltz.” Sandra Piques Eddy and Alex Richardson in “ As we reﬂ ect on our time on this venerable stage, we are Boston Lyric Opera's production of Werther.

About Finish Line
“It’s a story with particular heft for Bostonians, of course. But it’s also a story with universal appeal, about the strength of the human spirit.” – The Boston Globe ABOUT FINISH LINE From March 15-26, 2017, the world premiere of Finish Line: A Documentary Play About the 2013 Boston Marathon was presented by the Boch Center in association with Boston Theater Company at the Boch Center Shubert Theatre. Finish Line brings a story of recovery, resilience, and determination center stage. Through a transcript created verbatim from dozens of interviews, Finish Line uses powerful firsthand accounts to show how a community came together to heal and grow stronger in the wake of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. It does not focus on the act of terror itself but rather on the people whose lives were impacted. Directed and co-created by Joey Frangieh and co-created by Lisa Rafferty, the documentary style production features interviews from survivors, runners, doctors, police officers, spectators, journalists, clergy, and students. These include Liz Norden, mother of two sons injured in the bombings, news anchor Maria Stephanos, Massachusetts General Hospital trauma surgeon Dr. David R. King, Boston Police Commissioner William Evans, 1976 Marathon winner Jack Fultz, and Boston Globe photographer John Tlumacki, among many others. A team began interviews for Finish Line in March 2015. In total, 94 individuals were interviewed for the project. After holding seven workshops, preview performances of Finish Line were presented in a 50 seat conference room in April 2016 and received an overwhelming response from audiences. Over the next year, Boston Theater Company and the Boch Center worked together to conduct more interviews, make changes to the script, hold auditions, design a set, and much more that led to the world premiere of Finish Line at the 1,500 seat Shubert Theatre in March 2017.
