In Cat on a Hot Tin Roof a Southern family meet to celebrate 'Big
Daddy' Pollit's birthday: Gooper with his wife and children, his
brother Brick - an ageing, broken football star - and his wife
Maggie. But as the party unfolds the facade of a happy family
gathering is fractured by sexual frustration, repressed love, and
greed in the light of their father's impending death. This Student
Edition provides an extensive introduction and notes by Philip C.
Kolin, a world authority on Williams. The introduction includes: a
chronology of Williams' life and times; a summary of the plot,
commentary on the characters, themes, language and context, and a
production history of the play. Together with questions for further
study and notes on words and phrases from the text, this is the
essential edition of the play for students of literature and drama.
Since it was made into a Hollywood film starring Paul Newman and
Elizabeth Taylor, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is arguably Tennessee
Williams' most celebrated play.
