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.
##Brick人設的連貫性明顯還是原版的好,對比下來Broadway version的轉摺也過於突兀瞭點..就像田納西自己說的I don’t believe that a conversation, however revelatory, ever effects so immediate a change in the heart or conduct of a person in Brick’s state of spiritual disrepair. (Big Daddy真是人間清醒
評分##已購# "Mendacity is a system that we live in. Liquor is one way out and death is the other." 兩個版本的結局我都挺喜歡的,田納西原版的結尾Brick的反問有一種很無奈的悲傷,可能觀眾更多的是同情Brick;百老匯版的結尾是Maggie走投無路的哀求,就像a cat on a hot tin roof,就像田納西自己記錄的導演Kazan提的建議"...the character of Margaret...should be, if possible, more clearly sympathetic to an audience."田納西真的很會寫傢庭成員之間的緊張和矛盾關係,個人覺得比奧尼爾要好很多。
評分##cat on a hot tin roof,好比喻也經不起反復用,靈氣受摺磨。 Broadway Version結局不如原版,強求人物發狠,突變太多。Williams的解釋是,"Brick should undergo some apparent mutation",但想沒想過,醉鬼真的隻希望跪在爛攤子裏流點眼淚,他不要變,要酒。非把玻璃裂痕都熔瞭,捏作新玻璃,說這是人的崛起,之後再不會碎,以為這麼更聰明。殊不知最好的就是那一個碎,全毀瞭最聰明。

評分##些許情緒化 沒戳中我 反而印象深刻的是 Tiffany glass
評分##Mendacity is a system that we live in. Liquor is one way out an' death's the other……
評分##第二幕對the difficulty of communication的展現太神瞭……mendacity! Plot 太差靠颱詞救,第二幕救迴來瞭第三幕兩個版本都不行。
