100910 (September 10 - 25) RT - CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF by Tennessee Williams Directed by Melora Kordos at the Renaissance Theatre, 1022 Commerce Street, Lynchburg.

At the family plantation house, Big Daddy celebrates his sixty-fifth birthday. The mood is somber, despite the festivities, as a number of evils poison the gaiety: greed, sins of the past, and desperate, clawing hopes for the future. Come watch the fireworks as some of Tennessee Williams' most famous characters take the stage. "...a play of tremendous dramatic impact...enormous theatrical power." -- NY Post "Williams has fashioned his most compelling characters." -- NY Journal-American "This is a gripping and intensely moving play, a play that can hold its own with anything written in the post-O'Neill American theater.... Brilliant scenes, scenes of sudden and lashing dramatic power, break open.... There is, indeed, no one moment in the evening when the stinging accuracy of Mr. Williams' ear for human speech is not compellingly in evidence.... Mr. Williams is the man of our time who comes closest to hurling the actual blood and bone of life onto the stage; he is also the man whose prose comes closest to being an incisive natural poetry." -- NY Times
