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.

评分人物性格塑造得很鲜明,戏剧的题目直接道出了主人公的处境,而作者又没有赋予了其过多的对白,没有详细点明她的处境如何,反而是用他人来衬托她,慢慢读下去,maggie的性格就都呈现出来了。
评分##第二幕对the difficulty of communication的展现太神了……mendacity! Plot 太差靠台词救,第二幕救回来了第三幕两个版本都不行。
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##已购# "Mendacity is a system that we live in. Liquor is one way out and death is the other." 两个版本的结局我都挺喜欢的,田纳西原版的结尾Brick的反问有一种很无奈的悲伤,可能观众更多的是同情Brick;百老汇版的结尾是Maggie走投无路的哀求,就像a cat on a hot tin roof,就像田纳西自己记录的导演Kazan提的建议"...the character of Margaret...should be, if possible, more clearly sympathetic to an audience."田纳西真的很会写家庭成员之间的紧张和矛盾关系,个人觉得比奥尼尔要好很多。
评分##“Mendacity is a system that we live in. Liquor is one way out and death’s the other.”
