Weyni Mengesha's new production of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire is a must-see Toronto show this season. Vibrantly staged and exceptionally cast, the piece captivates so entirely you will not notice it runs more than three hours. Nor will you quite realize it was written more than 70 years ago, that's how relevant many of the play's themes are in the hands of this talented company.
