Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
This is not your father's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. This is a script that was rewritten in the 1970's and Williams held nothing back. He thrust full forward the love, both physical and emotional between the two male stars, Brick and the unseen Skipper. And most interesting, in NONE of any prior productions was the isssue of Big Daddy's full acceptance of two of his employees on the plantation, two men, who shared the same bed, openly. They were call "the sisters", but, were fully accepted without reproach. So, the question lingers, what if Brick had come out to Big Daddy about his confused love for his friend, Skipper? Well, for one thing we would not have this wonderful play, play out as it does.
Go see it. It is a great cast doing a great performance on a wonderful stage. It's about lies and uncovering lies until truth is all thats left.
