Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Part of our Tennessee Williams Season
After Brick Pollitt injures himself while drunkenly revisiting his high school sports-star days, he and his tempestuous wife, Maggie, visit his family's Mississippi plantation for the 65th birthday of his hot-tempered father, Big Daddy.
Cantankerous even with declining health, Big Daddy demands to know why Brick and Maggie haven't yet given him a grandchild, unlike Brick's brother Gooper and his fecund wife, Mae.
