Marc's Reviews > Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

A classic play, but it still tastes fresh. By American standards (I apologize to my American GR-friends!) this is an in-depth character study with strong protagonists. I think of Brick, who drinks away the homosexual nature of the "pure" relationship with his friend Skipper, his wife Margareth who - horny as a cat on a hot tin roof - desperately tries to get access to him, and Big Daddy who can't handle his nearing death. I also saw the 1959-movie, but the alternative Hollywood version of the third act is an absolute failure, compared to the original!
