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.
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?
评分相对还是更喜欢欲望。
评分自以为比streetcar会更有tension。And once again sensing the lack of communication under fast paced, breathless, overwhelming dialogues. 喜欢original script,结尾多有意思啊
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《...
评分很多年以前在一本法国作家的文集上看到过,家庭的实质是一群互相仇视的男人、女人、孩子,居住在同一个屋檐下。 无处不是谎言与欺骗。很难说得清楚,究竟是生活欺骗了人们,还是人们欺骗了生活。仿佛唯有欺骗,才是人与生活唯一相处的形式。我们假装融洽,假装相爱,唯有这样才...
