Tennessee Williams' CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
Directed by Lee Sankowich
February 6 – March 3
"For a Director," added Lee Sankowich, "CAT ON A HIT TIN ROOF is a challenge and a gift to stage. I look forward to exploring Tennessee Williams' powerful themes - sexuality, greed, relationships and social mores, to name a few - in collaboration with this exquisite cast and masterful design team. Many thanks to Randall King and Cathleen King of San Jose Stage Company for the chance to bring this Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece to life."
“Williams's favorite among his plays…his most impassioned and articulate statement on human isolation, the wrenching problems of communication between people and the ways in which death defines life.” - The New York Times
Tennessee Williams’ masterpiece sizzles in this hot tale of the ties that bind. On a steamy night on the Mississippi Delta the Pollitt Plantation swarms with angst as the family gathers to celebrate the 65th birthday of their hot-tempered patriarch, Big Daddy. The heat begins to rise as the Southern family is thrust into crisis when Big Daddy announces he must choose one of his sons to inherit his estate. As Brick, his favorite son, and Brick’s wife Maggie struggle to guard their demons the rest of the family claws at any opportunity to topple their dynasty. With the future of the family in peril -- accusations swirl, ulterior motives are exposed and mendacity reigns.
CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF runs two hours, including one intermission.
The cast of CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF will feature Randall King* as “Big Daddy,” Judith Siebenthal as “Big Mama,” Rob August* as “Brick,” Allison F. Rich* in “Maggie,” Will Springhorn Jr.* as “Gooper,” Tanya Marie as “Mae,” Michael Bellino as “Reverend Tooker” and Tim Fullerton as “Doctor Baugh.
