Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof first heated up Broadway in 1955 with its gothic American story of brothers vying for their dying father’s legacy during a hurricane of sexuality, untethered in the individual of Maggie the Cat. The play moreover daringly showcased the burden of sexuality quelled within the anguish of her spouse, Brick Pollitt. Despite the open controversy Cat stirred up, it was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the Drama Critics Circle Award for that year. Williams, as he so regularly did with his plays, modified Cat on a Hot Tin Roof for numerous years—the show adaptation was initially created at the American Shakespeare Festival in 1974 with all the changes that made Williams, at last, declare the content to be definitive, and was most as of late delivered on Broadway within the 2003–2004 season.
