Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Guthrie Theatre
818 South 2nd Street Minneapolis

In Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, over the course of one sultry evening, a prominent Southern dynasty is pushed to the brink when tender memories are relived and life altering secrets are revealed. It’s the 65th birthday of wealthy Southern plantation owner Big Daddy and his family has gathered to celebrate, while sparing him the news that he’s dying of cancer. As one son Brick, a hunky former football hero, mysteriously retreats from his desirable but sexually frustrated wife Maggie, his money hungry brother and sister-in-law plot to secure more than their share of the family fortune. Don’t miss Cat On A Hot Tine Roof, this Pulitzer Prize-winning gem, an emotionally intense drama that sizzles with passion and greed like you’ve never experienced before.

  Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Reviews

Star Tribune - Recommended

"...The director gets solid, in-the-moment performances from her cast, with Swallow delivering a flawless Maggie. She has perhaps the most lines in the play, using speech, Lady Macbeth-like, to work out her thoughts and to work her will. Swallow takes us through her gear-switches with aplomb. Hansen's Brick operates in a limited, sourpuss range. But that character has never had that much variation."

Twin Cities Daily Planet - Highly Recommended

"...From top to bottom, this is a very powerful, vastly entertaining production of one of the great American plays. See it now: frequently produced though this play is, it doesn't get much better than this."

Aisle Say Twin Cities - Highly Recommended

"...The Guthrie’s production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is electric. The first few minutes of this Tennessee Williams classic promise a riveting theatrical experience, a promise that the rest of the show fulfills. Haunting in both its beauty and its sadness, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof achieves a kind of poignancy that is as rare as it is arresting."
