Surfside Players Present CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF 9/9-25

Surfside opens its 53rd season with the American classic drama CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, by Tennessee Williams. In a plantation house, the members of the family are celebrating the sixty-fifth birthday of "Big Daddy," as they sentimentally dub him. The tone is light, but the mood is somber. For a number of old evils poison the gaiety-sins of the past, greedy hopes for the future, a desperate eagerness not to believe in the truths that surround them. CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF is a delicately wrought exercise in human communication. Tennessee Williams' characters try to escape from the loneliness of their private lives into some form of understanding. The truth invariably terrifies them. That is one thing they cannot face or speak...

Performances are September 9 - 25, 2011 (three weekends), Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm, Sundays at 2:00pm. There will be a reception with hors d'oeuvres on Opening Night at 7:30pm.
