ABOUT THE SHOW
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams is a gripping drama about the Pollitt family, a wealthy Southern clan navigating a tumultuous gathering to celebrate the birthday of their patriarch, Big Daddy. While the family grapples with his terminal cancer diagnosis, tensions rise as Brick, Big Daddy's favored yet troubled son, and Brick's ambitious wife Maggie confront unresolved desires, family rivalries, and the looming question of inheritance. Set against the sweltering heat of a Mississippi summer, this play explores themes of love, betrayal, and truth.
