The Gianakos-Safos Collection holds a US first printing of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire (Pulitzer Prize-Drama, 1948), complete with the premiere program, opening night Playbill, and curtain card from the play’s original premiere at Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia on November 17, 1947. The book boards of the US first printing copy seen here denote its exceedingly rare true first state, in which the author’s name appears in gold, rather than in white, on the spine.
