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.
相對還是更喜歡欲望。
評分還是更喜歡《欲望》,那部裏麵衝突的核心沒有這裏具象化,可能我更喜歡戲劇裏那種個人或某一特殊群體的絕境吧。Brick有點讓我想起Hemingway那些主人公,the additional charm of that cool air of detachment that people who have gicen up the struggle, 不過他是被動的。包括Maggie the cat,這部是關於一種焦灼,從現實來的脅迫感。
評分想要瞭解美國南部口音,究竟是多麼粗暴的魅力,就在這裏瞭。
評分自以為比streetcar會更有tension。And once again sensing the lack of communication under fast paced, breathless, overwhelming dialogues. 喜歡original script,結尾多有意思啊
評分寫的最傳神的並非美麗動人的貓女maggie也不是性嚮變幻莫測的英俊球星Brick,而是練達人生又對人生無可奈何的Big parents.
当年老师说布莱希特好,在课堂上讲了很多,可我的记忆已经像喝了春药后一般将我背叛,当时听得云里雾里,后来接触了点易卜生,贝克特,还有尤金奥尼尔,一发不可收拾,戏剧里,生活化,口语化,留白多,言之有尽,味之无穷,舞台上场景模拟,高潮处入境,似幻似真,正是我之所...
評分由于某种原因,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...
評分 評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...
評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...
