Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Ruth Stage's polarizing Off Broadway premiere of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof returns for an unprecedented 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. Cobra Kai's Courtney Henngeler stars as "Maggie the Cat!" Matt de Rogatis reprises his critically acclaimed role as "Brick" and Drama Desk & Obie Award winning actor Frederick Weller stars as "Big Daddy."

"(Tennessee) Williams would probably love Matt de Rogatis' Brick." - Juan Ramirez, The New York Times
