Breakdown

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Description: This steamy southern drama, filled with characters whose lives are torn with passion and lies won a Pulitzer Prize and was one of Tennessee Williams favorite plays. From the cat-like Maggie, the repressed Brick, with his latent longings, to the shadows of Big Daddy and Big Mama, this powerful story twists and turns our hearts and stirs our own longings. Come with us as we inhabit their world and watch it explode.

Seeking:

Maggie
Late 20s, a society beauty without money. Frantic abut her future and eaten up with longing for her husband, who constantly rejects her. Has a sharp tongue and devilish sense of humor.

Gooper
Mid 30's, a successful corporate lawyer. Self righteous.

Rev. Tooker
40s-60s, greedy and opportunistic.
