Cat On A Hot Tin Roof is coming to the Givens
Performing Arts Center on Thursday, March 27, 2008,
at 8 p.m. as part of the Broadway and More
Series.
Montana Repetory Theatre's production of Tennessee William’s “Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. “ A true American classic, and winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics’ Award in 1955. Set in the bedroom suite room of a plantation home in the Mississippi Delta, this sizzling story of a Southern family in crisis uncovers the lives of Brick, the alcoholic son, who is tortured by the death of his best friend and guilt about their relationship; Maggie, his wife, who is tormented by her longing for the husband she can’t possess; and Big Daddy, the father, who is unaware that he is dying of cancer. It’s Big Daddy’s 65th birthday, and all of the relatives are in attendance, attempting to present themselves in the best possible light so as to receive the largest share of Big Daddy’s enormous wealth.
Sparks fly as the greed, hidden agendas and half-lies are exposed, but there is humor as well. The New York Times called it, “Mr. Williams’ finest drama. It faces and speaks the truth” and Time Magazine echoed, “stunning…Williams’ most memorable.
