Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Movie Tie-In
by Tennessee Williams
Signet, 1955
*Includes 8 pages of scenes from the movie and the play*
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama of the seething passions that beset a wealthy Southern family whose lives are stripped of pretense in a shattering moment of revelation.
Brick, the alcoholic son, is tortured by the death of his best friend and his guilt about their relationship.
Margaret, his wife, is tormented by her longing for the husband she cannot possess and her craving for security.
Big Daddy, his father, unaware that he is dying of cancer, exults in his lust for life.
Gathered together in a piously hypocritical celebration of Big Daddy's sixty-fifth birthday, the family's conflicts are suddenly, relentlessly exposed in an explosive series of climaxes that forces each of them to part with the half-lies that have shielded them from reality.
This brilliant drama eloquently reveals Tennessee Williams matchless gift for transforming the essence of life into memorable literature.
"Far and away the finest play of the year." - Newsweek
"As emotionally naked and relentlessly visceral a play as our theatre has seen."- Saturday Review
"It holds one's hypnotized and breathless attention, while it bares the souls of its participants with a shameless tongue?" -World Telegram and Sun
