Cat on a Hot Tin Roof tells the story of a Southern family in crisis,
focusing on the turbulent relationship of a wife and husband, Maggie
"The Cat" and Brick Pollitt, and their interaction with
Brick's family over the course of one evening at the family estate
in Mississippi, ostensibly to celebrate the birthday of patriarch
and tycoon "Big Daddy" Pollitt. Maggie, through wit and
beauty, has escaped a childhood of desperate poverty to marry into
the wealthy Pollitt family, but finds herself suffering in an unfulfilling
marriage. Brick, an aging football hero, has neglected his wife
and further infuriates her by ignoring his brother's attempts to
gain control of the family fortune. Brick's indifference and his
near-continuous drinking date back to the recent suicide of his
friend Skipper. Big Daddy is unaware that he has cancer and will
not live to see another birthday; his doctors and his family have
conspired to keep this information from him and his wi fe. His relatives
are in attendance and attempt to present themselves in the best
possible light, hoping to receive the definitive share of Big Daddy's
enormous wealth.
