About Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was first published and performed in 1955. It tells the story of the familial and marital tensions surrounding Brick, a closeted gay man living in America’s Deep South. At the time, homosexuality was rarely addressed in the media, and indeed Brick’s sexuality is never stated explicitly, though it is made amply clear by context. Brick’s inner turmoil does not stem from his internalized homophobia alone – he and his wife Margaret are the subject of scorn as a result of their childlessness, and his father’s recent diagnosis with a serious illness has been hushed up to preserve the status quo. Over the course of the play, these tensions come to a head, creating an explosive domestic drama.
