Plot Synopsis
Cat on a Tin Roof recounts a day in the life of a wealthy Mississippi family who have gathered to celebrate the birthday of patriarch, "Big Daddy" Pollitt. "Big Daddy" was recently diagnosed with cancer and much of the family drama revolves around what will happen to "Big Daddy's" fortune after he passes away. On top of the stress of his oppressive father's impending death, main character Brick suffers from alcoholism. The turbulence between Brick and his wife Maggie makes up the central portion of the plot. All of these elements combine to make up what has been considered one of Tennessee Williams most famous and dramatic works.
