CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF Comes to Old Library Theatre in Fair Lawn, 11/20-22

Fair Lawn Recreation Department's resident theater company, Old Library Theatre, is proud to present Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer-Prize winning drama CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1955, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is the story of a Southern family in crisis. In a plantation house, they gather to celebrate the sixty-fifth birthday of Big Daddy, as they sentimentally dub him. The mood is somber, despite the festivities, because a number of evils poison the gaiety: greed, sins of the past and desperate, clawing hopes for the future spar with one another as the knowledge that Big Daddy is dying slowly makes the rounds. Maggie, Big Daddy's daughter-in-law, wants to give him the news that she's finally become pregnant by Big Daddy's favorite son, Brick, but Brick won't cooperate in Maggie's plans for reasons all his own. Swarming around them are their intrusive, conniving relatives, all eager to see Maggie put in her place and Brick tumbled from his position of most-beloved son.
