Ruth Stage's Off Broadway premiere of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof returns for a 42-performance re-engagement!
Tennessee Williams' sultry southern storm of a play about greed, deceit, self-delusion, sexual desire and repression, homophobia, sexism and the looming specter of death won the Pulitzer Prize in 1955. Directed by Joe Rosario, Ruth Stage's modern and haunting interpretation is set in an estate in the Mississippi Delta of Big Daddy Pollitt, a wealthy cotton tycoon. The play examines the relationships among members of Big Daddy's highly dysfunctional family, primarily between his son Brick and Maggie the "Cat," Brick's wife. Courtney Henggeler (Cobra Kai) stars as Maggie the "Cat," and Matt de Rogatis reprises his critically acclaimed role as Brick with Frederick Weller as Big Daddy.
