The action begins with the arrival of Blanche DuBois, dressed in white, and both looking and feeling entirely out of place on this downtrodden street. Blanche stares at the building in disbelief – her directions brought her to Elysian Fields, but it looks nothing like what she expected. Eunice tells Blanche that she has come to the right place – Blanche's sister, Stella, lives on the first floor. After Eunice lets Blanche into the apartment, she runs around the corner to fetch Stella. Blanche feels that she has come down in the world just visiting her sister in her dead end marriage in this run down part of town.
