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.
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.

评分作者版引而不发,比百老汇版有味
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.
评分人物性格塑造得很鲜明,戏剧的题目直接道出了主人公的处境,而作者又没有赋予了其过多的对白,没有详细点明她的处境如何,反而是用他人来衬托她,慢慢读下去,maggie的性格就都呈现出来了。

(玛格丽特)呆在热铁皮屋顶上的猫的胜利到底是什么?我真想知道……我琢磨,大概是一个劲儿地呆在屋顶上,能呆多久就呆多久吧…… (大爹)哼,我去的地方比这还远呢,我刚从月球背面回来,刚从阴曹地府回来,儿子啊,再有天大的事都吓不到我。总而言之,我住的地方一向很宽...
评分 评分 评分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《...
