In 1991, Charlotte Cranford travels to the Soviet Union to direct a production of Streetcar Named Desire with a Ukrainian cast. She battles the language barriers and cultural customs, finds herself in a love triangle, and struggles to get the show up, only to become enmeshed in the military coup that toppled the old order and changed the Cold War forever.
Rehearsing Desire had a staged reading by Nora’s Playhouse at the Actor’s Guild Hall in NYC and at Nora’s South Salon in Montgomery, Alabama.
