Wowzer. In Tennessee Williams's Pulitzer Prize winning play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, a powerful but turbulent Southern family gathers at their Mississippi estate, ostensibly to celebrate the birthday of patriarch Big Daddy. Big Daddy has cancer, but his doctors and relatives have conspired to hide the diagnosis from him and his wife. At the gathering, his relatives attempt to ingratiate themselves with Big Daddy, with an eye toward his enormous fortune. Theatre Tulsa presents this production of the play, which explores themes of disgust with the world and decaying Southern society. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof will show in the Liddy Doenges Theatre in the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, 110 E. Second St. Show times are 8pm, March 25-27.
