Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

It is Big Daddy’s birthday and his family has gathered for the celebration. But some celebration.

There’s Brick, the favourite son, faded sports star, drunk and struggling to come to terms with his sexuality.

There’s Maggie, his wife, desperate to provide Big Daddy with the grandchild he so much wants, but convulsed by frustration at Brick’s sexual rejection.

There’s the other son, Gooper, and his wife, Mae, both out to get their hands on Big Daddy’s considerable wealth when he dies – an event not too far away because Big Daddy is dying and everybody knows it. Everybody, that is, except Big Daddy himself.

So what starts as a happy family gathering quickly degenerates into a rancorous cocktail of greed, jealously, deceit and suppressed sexuality.
