Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

Tennessee Williams

Barry Park

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.” –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.

If history is told by the victors, the story of war is usually told by the blokes. Now it's the ‘sheilas' turn. Nearly 1000 Australian women had a part in the Vietnam War as entertainers, journalists, volunteers and nurses. The one thing they have in common is that their lives were changed forever by Vietnam. For many of them it was the most vital and alive they have ever felt. This is their story.
