Kind Strangers presents…

Blanche Survives Katrina in a
FEMA Trailer Named Desire

Written & Performed by Mark Sam Rosenthal

Directed by Todd Parmley

A refugee story whose politics and pathos you have read but never experienced through the eyes of Tennessee Williams’ tragic heroine, the desperately deliberately fragile alcoholic codependent sex-addicted — Blanche DuBois — America’s most broken woman™.

FIVE STARS “…a thoughtful, laugh-out-loud story based on one film icon’s descent into reality: hilarious, a little bit heartbreaking and really smart. Like all great comedy, it’s funny because it’s true—and even better because it’s so absurd.” Time Out NY

“… a loving tribute to a dazzling character and an unforgiving political commentary.” Backstage
