Bookings open: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof!!

Melville Theatre Company presents… Cat on the Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams Directed by Susan Hayward Synopsis: It is the story of a Southern family in crisis, focusing on the turbulent relationship of a wife and husband, Maggie "The Cat" and Brick Pollitt, and their interaction with Brick's family over the course of one evening gathering at the family estate in Mississippi, ostensibly to celebrate the birthday of patriarch and tycoon "Big Daddy" Pollitt. Brick, an aging football hero, has neglected his wife and further infuriates her by ignoring his brother's attempts to gain control of the family fortune. Brick's indifference, and his nearly continuous drinking, date back to the recent suicide of his friend Skipper. Although Big Daddy has cancer and will not celebrate another birthday, his doctors and his family have conspired to keep this information from him and his wife. His relatives attempt to present themselves in the best possible light, hoping to receive the definitive share of Big Daddy's enormous wealth.
