Running Time
185 mins

Acclaimed by The Independent as “a brilliant, lacerating account of the play that jolts you out of any complacent sense of cosy familiarity with the dramatist’s characteristic terrain”, Benedict Andrews‘ follow-up to his hit A Streetcar Named Desire is a suitably steamy Young Vic production of the Tennessee Williams classic.

Jack O’Connell, of Skins and ’71 fame, is cast as impotent, closeted Brick, with Sienna Miller as glamorous, sexually frustrated Maggie the Cat.
