An adaptation of Tennessee Williams's classic drama set in the plantations of the American Deep South. Hypocrisy, greed, and secret passions threaten to tear apart a dysfunctional family as they fight over a dying patriarch's millions.

This major radio production features an all-star cast including Joss Ackland as Big Daddy, Gemma Jones as Big Mama, and Elizabeth McGovern as Margaret. Directed by Andy Jordan, this two-hour production of the complete first version of Williams' play was broadcast on March 16, 2008, on BBC Radio 3.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof first heated up Broadway in 1955 and has since been recognized with the Pulitzer Prize. This definitive edition includes Williams’ essay “Person-to-Person” and notes on the various endings, providing insight into one of America’s greatest playwrights.

This play uses the last revision done by the author, and has some updated language that is more specific language, and yet still mysterious relationship between Brick and Skip. This is a well done radio play, but all I could see in my head was Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor as the magnificent "Maggie the Cat". Took one star away, as the description noted additional materials which were not included with the play.

Good Play

Lots of accurate family drama. Usually multiple voices bother me but not for this play.
