Description A 'startling version.' … The surface of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was transformed into a dream: Brick reclining morbidly in a giant orchid, forever stalked along a zigzag catwalk by Maggie, a tragicomic Madam Butterfly, shedding layer after layer of outer garments into the hands of three attendant elves. The imagery and elocution of the play were weird and strange, but the text was presented uncut, with its meaning precisely expressed and enhanced by the production.
