<p style='background:#F8FCFF'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
lang=EN style='font-size:12.0pt'>Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is 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 gathering 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 nearly 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 wife. 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. (Source: Wikipedia)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
