Cat On A Hot Tin Roof April 10, 2013

One era is ending, how does the next begin? It’s a portrait of two generations. One doesn’t want to die, and the other one feels crowded out, confused, and desperate to inherit whatever it can get before it’s too late.

Big Daddy (Marshall Napier) is a magnate. His son Brick (Ewen Leslie) is a closeted ex-footballer with a drinking problem. Brick’s wife Maggie (Jacqueline McKenzie) is a second-rung society girl measuring her success against all the other families and the number of babies they have. Big Daddy is dying and somehow or other Maggie and Brick have to conceive the next generation…

The rest of this extraordinary cast includes Lynette Curran (Gates of Egypt), Gareth Davies (Peter Pan, As You Like It), Alan Dukes (True West, Sydney Theatre Company), Rebecca Massey (The Book of Everything, Exit the King) and Justin Smith (The Threepenny Opera).
