CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF

Tennessee Williams' searing Pulitzer Prize winning classic.

 

Half a century ago, it changed the American theatre forever.

Now it returns to the South Bay for the first time in twenty years.

 

Hypocrisy, greed, and secret passions threaten to tear apart a wealthy Mississippi family on the evening of Big Daddy’s birthday.

 

Maggie, 'the Cat' is desperate to provide her in-laws an heir to the sprawling plantation, and will stop at nothing to break through her husband Brick’s

inner ghosts - and the 'mendacity' that haunts him.

 

JULY 9 - 26
