From the supplier: The Japanese premiere of 'A Streetcar Named Desire' came in Mar 1953, almost five years after the play's premiere on Broadway and at least three or four years after many European premieres. This premiere shows Williams's great popularity and the ongoing Westernization of Japanese theater. The premiere in Japan can be seen as a Japanese reading of American culture. The opening was about a year after the American occupation ended. By this time, Japan had experienced an American way of life. American tastes have, since post-war times, continued to influence Japanese popular culture.
