A Streetcar Named Desire - help

One prominent production was Show 2 of the Lyric Hammersmith's Secret Theatre season.

I only saw two Secret Theatre shows - the first two, Woyzeck and Streetcar. I can't remember enough to say anything about them, but there are reviews to be found online.

I am sure Bella Reeve was a Bloolips production and Bette Bourne was in it

There is some video of this if you Google it. Don't forget Pedro Almodovars All about my mother as well.

I saw and enjoyed the Secret Theatre production. I can't guarantee a faultless memory,but I'd be happy to have a go at answering any questions?

Thank you so much.  From what I've read about the production my questions are:
1.  They didn't use American accents, but did they choose English accents representative of the characters or was it more timeless/classless than that?
2.  One review made a lot out of how they used props to establish how hot it was (ice cream, balloons were mentioned) - did that work when you saw it?  In TW's stage directions there are specific references to effects he wants (shadows, sounds, the polka) did they use those more expressionistic techniques or something else?
3.  Did having a disabled actor (who I saw as Maid Marian recently at the Stratford panto and thought was very good) add to the portrayal of Blanche or was it more a matter of not referring to it and just giving a good actor a good role.  (Sorry I haven't phrased that well.)  I could imagine, for example, her seeming more vulnerable so the ending more shocking, or her disability adding to her 'outsider' status - but I wasn't sure if the performance referenced it at all.  

Don't worry if you don't remember.  But I appreciate all the help on this forum and some of this will definitely go in.

1. As far as I'm aware, they all used their own natural accents. Some London, some northern, Estonian Stanley, that sort of thing.

2. I honestly hadn't thought about the props in terms of that, but in spite of the fact it was a very expressionistic production (eating watermelon to represent playing poker, for instance, afore-mentioned accent use, and big white walls in lieu of more naturalistic set), I found that the setting of New Orleans was still very present so I guess it must have worked beautifully on a subconscious level!

3. Bit of both, really. As you say, Nadia Albina is a terribly good actor and gave a very good Blanche, and I don't feel her disability informed her performance in any way that it doesn't go with any of her other performances, but you would have to be a very stubborn and willful person to insist that it didn't add an extra layer of vulnerability to a pretty damaged character. I seem to recall they cast her because there's no reason why Blanche shouldn't have a visible disability, rather than because they wanted to make a statement by giving Blanche a visible disability. www.theguardian.com/stage/2014/jun/02/disabled-actor-plays-blanche-dubois-streetcar-named-desire is a nice little read on the subject.
