"Gillian Anderson was electrifying as Blanche DuBois in an absorbing account of Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire. The part is an exacting one and there have been many great Blanches before (Rachel Weisz won this award five years ago in the same role), but Anderson brought an impressive range of attributes to her portrait of this complex character.

Capturing the delusional pretentiousness and teasing wit of this fading Southern belle, while also exquisitely conveying her loneliness and fragility, she combined toughness with twitchy volatility — and mixed bourbon-swigging glamour with doe-eyed vulnerability.

Benedict Andrews’s production at the Young Vic, on an almost constantly revolving stage and with sharp jolts of music between the scenes, made a play that often seems like a period piece feel bracingly contemporary. Anderson’s Blanche was the vivid centre of this disorientating interpretation — involving, unsettling and ultimately shattering."

"Working on this sensitively told film and with young women who have themselves experienced the unbelievable trauma of abduction and trafficking has opened my eyes to the horrors these young people face on a daily basis as well as the often life threatening danger those working at the charities put themselves in to free these innocent victims from modern day slavery.

"We also need to work on tackling the causes of trafficking and preventing it from happening in the first place. Education is key, which is why I'm proud to support the Taught Not Trafficked campaign with Childreach International." - Gillian Anderson, Asian Image
