Rowena Richie, Peter Griggs and Natalie Greene ponder their options in "A Hand in Desire," based on Tennessee Williams' classic play.
The EmSpace dance company starts with Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire," adding music and dance, and heads off for new territory. The show features 52 scenes, each associated with a playing card; a game of hearts played nightly determines which scenes will be performed. The bar-like setting adds boozy verisimilitude.
8 p.m. Fri.-Sat. Through Jan. 29. $20. Viracocha, 998 Valencia St., S.F. (415) 516-7496. www.emspacedance.org/desire.
