Recent Reviews of Streetcar

I am also very much interested in looking at some reviews of recent productions of Streetcar Named Desire.  Let's start with the 2005 Broadway production starring Natasha Richardson and John C. Reilly.

Perhaps we should move on to a British production starring Rachel Weisz:

I didn't want another link to a review of a NYC production, but I could not resist this link to one of a version starring Alec Baldwin as Stanley and Jessica Lange as Blanche.

Jay Gabler was admittedly unfamiliar with Streetcar when he reviewed the Guthrie's production:
