Most likely? The sexual content -- both consensual and forced -- that Stanley has with Stella and Blanche appalled readers. The fact that Blanche DuBois is an alcoholic, a pedophile, and a prostitute doesn't really help. Also, Blanche's husband committed suicide after she found out he is gay (homosexuality was taboo in the 1940s) prior to the timeline of the play.

If you mean censorship there are many ways to answer that question. In the 1951 movie, it was decided not to use the whole text of the original play, which was used in return in the 1995 version, for they wanted a shorter piece and some parts had very hateful language. The movie/play might have been censored for its scenes of domestic violence, hateful and discrimanatory language and implied sexual content. However, the most common versions of the movies and not censored.

The play "A Streetcar Named Desire" got its name from the car named "Desire" in the play. Blanche takes the streetcar on her way to Kowalskis.
