Complete casting and an extra week of shows have been revealed for Rebecca Frecknall’s production of A Streetcar Named Desire ahead of its run at the Phoenix Theatre.
Reprising their roles from the critically acclaimed Almeida production are Eduardo Ackerman (Pablo), Gabriela García (Mexican Woman), Francesca Knight (understudy) Tom Penn (Doctor/Drummer) and Jabez Sykes (Young Collector) alongside the previously confirmed Patsy Ferran (Blanche), Paul Mescal (Stanley), Anjana Vasan (Stella) and Dwane Walcott (Mitch).
Alexander Eliot (Steve) and Cash Holland (Eunice) join the company, alongside understudies Rob Dempsey, Zach Parkin and Constanza Ruff who complete the cast.
Telling the tale of two estranged sisters who reunite in New Orleans, the piece has picked up glowing reviews during its initial sell-out run at the Almeida in north London. It also received six Olivier Awards nominations including Best Play Revival and acting nods for its three leads.
The creative team features set designer Madeleine Girling, costume designer Merle Hensel, lighting designer Lee Curran, sound designer Peter Rice, composer Angus MacRae and casting director Julia Horan.
The show will play at the Phoenix Theatre, with dates from 20 March through to the newly extended date of 6 May 2023. Tickets go on sale at 11am on Monday 13 March 2023.
