<span lang="EN"> 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:

as an old-fashioned "Mississippi redneck," Daddy is a large, brash,

Though his coming death has been quickly repressed, in some sense Daddy has
confronted its possibility. In returning from "death's country," Daddy would
force his son to face his own desire. </font></font></p><br><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Gooper - A successful corporate lawyer. Gooper is Daddy's

control of the estate.</font></font><br clear="all"><br><br>See you there. <br>-- <br>~Gregory Zabielski<br> Producer: AØÙ "Cat on A Hot Tin Roof"<br> Cell: (518) 301-5849
