Britney Spears has been offered a role in a production of A Streetcar Named Desire. She has been offered the role of Blanche DuBois. Producers of the show praised Spears for her recent appearance on the television show How I Met Your Mother,. A source close to the production made this statement about Spears, "She has poise, timing and real flair. We’d wanted her for Blanche because even though she’s technically too young to play her, who else could embody this fallen southern belle so well? She’s living out the story, so to harness that on stage would be amazing for an audience to see - and cathartic for Britney too."
