*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 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.
