GRADS by special arrangement with Dominie Pty Ltd presents Tennessee Williams’ New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award and Pulitzer Prize winning play CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF A whirlwind of sexuality untethered and love repressed! Sensual friction, savage humour and verbal pyrotechnics charge this explosive depiction of a dysfunctional family torn apart by hypocrisy, greed and secret passions. Strong language, mature themes It’s a long, sultry night under Big Daddy’s plantation roof in 1950s Mississippi. Big Daddy is dying, and the family vultures are swarming for a slice of the inheritance pie. Beautiful Maggie “the Cat” still burns hot for her handsome ex-football star husband Brick, but he only has eyes for the bottom of a whisky bottle. As their troubled relationship comes to a stormy and steamy climax, a shockwave of secrets is revealed. Couched in the earthy language of the Deep South, this uncompromising, intensely human portrait of a wealthy dysfunctional family shows why Williams is one of America’s greatest playwrights. “One of the most successful plays of our time. A play of tremendous dramatic impact and enormous theatrical power.” â€“The New York Post “It is a stunning drama… a delicately wrought exercise in human communication… As theatre, it is superb.” - New York Times CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF features: Neal Huxley George Gayler, Paul Montague, Susan Lynch, Elethea Sartoreli, Neil Macintosh, Robert Ross, Laura Djanegara, Samantha Zinko, Alyssa Hewell, Robbie Ford, Jason Nichols and Kiri Siva.
