Britain comes to Brit’s rescue as the producers of the revival of Tennessee Williams play A Street Car Named Desire, which is about to hit London’s West End, see Spears as the leading lady.

The role of Blanche DuBois, previously played by Vivien Leigh, has been earmarked for Britney Spears and according to the Daily Star, because of Britney’s own troubled lifestyle she maybe in a position to bring real life to the character.

The newspaper quotes an anonymous source as saying: “She has poise, timing and a 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.”

So out of the embers of a shattered life in the USA hopefully Britney Spears will be the Phoenix who rises to become one of England’s hottest commodities in the next year.

Move over Madonna, Britney’s coming to steal your thunder!
