André Previn (1929-2019) A Streetcar Named Desire (1997) ‘I want magic’ Text by Philip Littell Real! Who wants real? I know I don’t want it. I want magic! Magic! Yes! That’s what I want! That’s what I try to give to people. I do misrepresent things. I don’t tell the truth. But I tell what ought to be in the truth. What it ought to be. Yes, magic. Magic’s what I try to give to people. If that’s a sin, If that is such a sin, then let me be damned for it! (Mitch moves again to the light switch) Don’t turn on that light! It’ll all look so ugly in that light. Why not see by candlelight… or moonlight or by starlight? They are bright enough to see by. Sometimes too bright. 31 NATALIE DESSAY ∙ PHILIPPE CASSARD
