Trivia: Where does Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire” take place?
New York
New Orleans
Los Angeles
Atlanta
The correct answer is New Orleans
So why is this answer correct? : Thomas Lanier Williams III — better known by his pen name, Tennessee Williams — was born in Columbus, Mississippi, and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. But it was New Orleans that inspired his first Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “A Streetcar Named Desire,” which opened on Broadway in 1947. Williams moved to the Big Easy in his 20s, and although he hopped from city to city throughout the rest of his life, NOLA left its mark on him — and vice versa. The city now hosts an annual festival in his honor.
