One of the most acclaimed productions of the 20th century, CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF tells the drama of seething passions that beset a wealthy Southern family whose lives are stripped of pretense in a shattering moment of revelation. The piece was an instant phenomenon during its original Broadway run starring Barbara Bel Geddes, Ben Gazzara and Burl Ives, with subsequent Broadway revivals starring such acclaimed actors as Elizabeth Ashley, Kathleen Turner, Ashley Judd and James Earl Jones. A film adaptation in 1958, starring ElizaBeth Taylor and Paul Newman, was nominated for 6 Academy Awards ©.
