Playing January 31 – February 17, 2019 Directed by Paul Gaffney Set in the 1950’s, in a plantation house in the Mississippi Delta, a family celebrates the sixty-fifth birthday of the patriarch Big Daddy but despite the festivities, the mood is somber. A number of evils poison the gaiety: greed, sins of the past and desperate hopes for the future spar with one another in this great American classic. Maggie, ‘The Cat’ is struggling to save her marriage to favored son, Brick, while swarming around them are their intrusive, conniving relatives, all eager to see Maggie put in her place and Brick tumbled from his position of most-beloved son. (Contains mature subject matter.)
