Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire is a play so broad in its themes that the number of possible dramatic focus points seems infinite. The most obvious include the destructive, primitive, and inescapable nature of desire, and the decadence and decay of an entire social class as embodied by Blanche DuBois. This interpretation, produced by English Touring Theatre, Nuffield Southampton Theatres, and Theatr Clywd focuses on the first.
It is difficult to know where to begin when preparing questions for an individual as impressive as Shazia Mirza, in terms of her life experience – a Biochemistry graduate, she embarked on a teaching career in Dagenham, before becoming a journalist and comedian. Her output is prolific, with material ranging from extremism to body hair. More recently, she survived ‘Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls’, during which she memorably led fellow islanders to a water source.
Peripeteia’s Production of Hedda, Lucy Kirkwood’s adaptation of Ibsen’s classic, makes the rigid academic structures of Oxford the prison for the ultimate portrayal woman constrained. Cosy Richard Curtis terrain becomes dystopian, reduced to a draughty, claustrophobic flat. Oxford, too, is reduced to ‘such a small town’. India Opzoomer as Hedda seems as much a product of her surroundings as Ibsen’s, if not more so.
