Tennesee Williams' landmark play exposes the emotional lies governing relationships in the family of a wealthy Southern planter of humble origins. The patriarch, Big Daddy, is about to celebrate his 65th birthday. His two married sons, Gooper (Brother Man) and Brick, have returned for the occasion, the former with his pregnant wife and five children, the latter with his wife Margaret (Maggie). "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is a brutally honest examination of homosexuality, father/son relationships, greed, manipulation, ageing, and death.
