Description

Blanche moves in with her pregnant sister Stella and forgets the cardinal rule of family reunions - to keep it short and sweet. She and Stella are the last two remaining members of an aristocratic family, and Blanche still tries to keep up the facade of being a wealthy, genteel Southern belle. Stella, however, has moved on and married Stanley, who is as far away from Blanche's ideals as a person can be. In short, he thinks she's an uptight b- ... lanche, and she thinks he's a subhuman animal and tells Stella as much.

As the three continue to live in tight quarters with a baby on the way, tensions escalate. Such is the way of Tennessee Williams and his love letters to his mom.
