*THE STORY:* In a plantation house, a family celebrates the sixty-fifth
birthday of Big Daddy.  The mood is somber, despite the festivities,
because a number of evils poison the gaiety: greed, sins of the past and
desperate, clawing hopes for the future spar with one another as the
knowledge that Big Daddy is dying slowly makes the rounds. Maggie, Big
Daddy's daughter-in-law, wants to give him the news that she's finally
become pregnant by Big Daddy's favorite son, Brick. Swarming around Maggie
and the alcoholic Brick are their intrusive, conniving relatives, all eager
to see Maggie put in her place and Brick tumbled from his position of
most-beloved son.
