Studying A Streetcar Named Desire (Hard copy, CD + digital assets)

This photocopiable resource provides resources and activities to support students in exploring and analysing A Streetcar Named Desire as a literary text and as a drama script in production.

The publication provides material for before reading (including an introduction to naturalism and expressionism); approaches to each scene, and substantial after reading activities to allow students to explore key ideas in greater depth.

• Literary, generic and historic contextual materials (including New Orleans and the American South, the first stage production and censorship), with activities to support students in using this contextual knowledge effectively.
• Draws on literary, stylistic and creative approaches to critical analysis, providing ways of engaging with the play’s structure, language, characterisation and dramatic qualities, as well as its themes and ideas.
• Activities to support students in to balance close analysis of individual scenes, with a sense of the play as a whole, its development, structure and shape. 
• Critical material integrated throughout the resource to sharpen up students’ own responses and to suggest new ways of interpreting the text.
