Tennessee Williams was born in 1911 in Columbus, Mississippi, where his grandfather was the episcopal clergyman. When his father, a travelling salesman, moved with his family to St Louis some years later, both he and his sister found it impossible to settle down to city life. He entered college during the Depression and left after a couple of years to take a clerical job in a shoe company. He stayed there for two years, spending the evening writing. He entered the University of Iowa in 1938 and completed his course, at the same time holding a large number of part-time jobs of great diversity. He received a Rockefeller Fellowship in 1940 for his play Battle of Angels, and he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 and 1955. Among his many other plays Penguin have published Summer and Smoke (1948), The Rose Tattoo (1951), Camino Real (1953), Baby Doll (1957), Orpheus Descending (1957), Something Unspoken (1958), Suddenly Last Summer (1958), Period of Adjustment (1960), The Night of the Iguana (1961), The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore (1963), and Small Craft Warnings (1972). Tennessee Williams died in 1983.
A sizzling drama of desire, avarice and deception set in the American Deep South, Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is publish ed in Penguin Modern Classics.'Big Daddy' Pollitt, the richest cotton planter in the Mississippi Delta, is about to celebrate his sixty-fifth birthday. His two sons have returned home for the occasion: Gooper, his wife and children, Brick, an ageing football hero who has turned to drink, and his feisty wife Maggie. As the hot summer evening unfolds, the veneer of happy family life and Southern gentility gradually slips away as unpleasant truths emerge and greed, lies, jealousy and suppressed sexuality threaten to reach boiling point. Made into a film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a masterly portrayal of family tensions and individuals trapped in prisons of their own making.
老田颇负盛名的短剧,据说也是他个人最喜欢的作品。作为在全球卖腐的风潮中成长起来的新一代,我不大能理解此剧的成功。诚然,我不否认戏剧中充满了精神和物质的多重矛盾,甚至每个人都能从cat on a hot tin roof这个比喻中看到自己的影子;但是从本质来说,这是身为同性恋的老...
评分由于某种原因,开始做田纳西威廉斯的论文。 投机取巧+侥幸心理+自以为的小聪明,没有读完原著,便开始大量看论文。 结果就像做鱼香肉丝时放了腌胡萝卜汤一样,只有讨厌的胡萝卜味儿。 在这个gay如火如荼的伸张权利之时,就像当初奴隶解放,黑人争取地位时所有的舆论导向都与此...

评分记得电影《断背山》的结尾,艾利斯打开衣橱,伸手拉出两件套在一起的衣服,尘封的记忆宛似冬日的清冽空气奔袭而来。此时镜头安静之极,犹如时光的瞬间凝固。于是我们知道,尽管艾利斯于现实中逃避,但他的心灵幽深处是直面这段往事的。而故事发生时代早于《断背山》若干年的《...
相对还是更喜欢欲望。
评分还是更喜欢《欲望》,那部里面冲突的核心没有这里具象化,可能我更喜欢戏剧里那种个人或某一特殊群体的绝境吧。Brick有点让我想起Hemingway那些主人公,the additional charm of that cool air of detachment that people who have gicen up the struggle, 不过他是被动的。包括Maggie the cat,这部是关于一种焦灼,从现实来的胁迫感。
评分写的最传神的并非美丽动人的猫女maggie也不是性向变幻莫测的英俊球星Brick,而是练达人生又对人生无可奈何的Big parents.
评分感觉ACT III 是败笔,前两幕看的很爽
评分No need for Act 3 but after the climax there’s got to be a decent ending (was it really decent?
