It’s Big Daddy Pollitt’s 65th birthday!

But the celebrations don’t go according to plan. Favoured son Brick, a former star athlete, is silently grieving the loss of a close friend – a very close friend – and has turned to the bottle while his wife Maggie (“the Cat”) rages with frustrated passion. Second brother Gooper parades his “monstrous” children but fails to impress.

This is a Southern family in turmoil. Brothers compete for an ailing father’s love – and his inheritance. Wives decry their loveless and demeaning marriages. Desires are repressed. And grief and loss cast a long shadow. Tennessee Williams’ 1955 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama is powerful. It continues to enthrall and shock modern audiences.
