Please remind yourselves of the AOs by looking closely at the mark scheme. Remember to slant your essay in the direction of it being a dramatic performance (to an audience) and think about Williams’ aims in terms of how he presents the characters. You might find this an interesting snippet:

In a letter from New Orleans to Kazan (director of the play on stage and screen) dated April 19, 1947, Williams writes of Streetcar: ‘There are no 'good' or 'bad' people. Some are a little better or a little worse, but all are activated more by misunderstanding than malice. A blindness to what is going on in each other's hearts.’

Plan carefully - lead with your power points on thematic/character introductions (AO1) Remember to analyse the stagecraft, language, imagery, structure of dialogue, stage directions (all AO2) as well as integrating context seamlessly - don’t bolt it on!

Lastly - no more than three pages of typed, five pages of written.
