The definitive text of this American classic—reissued with an introduction by Edward Albee ( Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and A Delicate Balance ) and Williams' essay "Person-to-Person." Cat on a Hot Tin Roof first heated up Broadway in 1955 with its gothic American story of brothers vying for their dying father's inheritance amid a whirlwind of sexuality, untethered in the person of Maggie the Cat. The play also daringly showcased the burden of sexuality repressed in the agony of her husband, Brick Pollitt. In spite of the public controversy Cat stirred up, it was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the Drama Critics Circle Award for that year. Williams, as he so often did with his plays, rewrote Cat on a Hot Tin Roof for many years—the present version was originally produced at the American Shakespeare Festival in 1974 with all the changes that made Williams finally declare the text to be definitive, and was most recently produced on Broadway in the 2003-04 season. This definitive edition also includes Williams' essay "Person-to-Person," Williams' notes on the various endings, and a short chronology of the author's life. One of America's greatest living playwrights, as well as a friend and colleague of Williams, Edward Albee has written a concise introduction to the play from a playwright's perspective, examining the candor, sensuality, power, and impact of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof then and now.
田纳西·威廉斯(Tennessee Williams,1911-1983)是美国20世纪最伟大的三大戏剧家之一(另外两位是尤金·奥尼尔和阿瑟·米勒),同时也是全世界范围内最重要的剧作家之一。1948年和1955年分别以其《欲望号街车》及《热铁皮屋顶上的猫》两度赢得普利策奖和戏剧评论奖;《玻璃动物园》和《鬣蜥之夜》也分别于1945年和1961年拿下纽约戏剧评论奖;1952年的玫瑰黥纹》获得托尼奖最佳戏剧奖殊荣。
由于某种原因,开始做田纳西威廉斯的论文。 投机取巧+侥幸心理+自以为的小聪明,没有读完原著,便开始大量看论文。 结果就像做鱼香肉丝时放了腌胡萝卜汤一样,只有讨厌的胡萝卜味儿。 在这个gay如火如荼的伸张权利之时,就像当初奴隶解放,黑人争取地位时所有的舆论导向都与此...
评分老田颇负盛名的短剧,据说也是他个人最喜欢的作品。作为在全球卖腐的风潮中成长起来的新一代,我不大能理解此剧的成功。诚然,我不否认戏剧中充满了精神和物质的多重矛盾,甚至每个人都能从cat on a hot tin roof这个比喻中看到自己的影子;但是从本质来说,这是身为同性恋的老...
评分当年老师说布莱希特好,在课堂上讲了很多,可我的记忆已经像喝了春药后一般将我背叛,当时听得云里雾里,后来接触了点易卜生,贝克特,还有尤金奥尼尔,一发不可收拾,戏剧里,生活化,口语化,留白多,言之有尽,味之无穷,舞台上场景模拟,高潮处入境,似幻似真,正是我之所...
评分后记其实很有意思,可以看到剧作家的自我坚持:事件的发生只不过反映了人物的本质。与之相比导演追求的事件改变人物是多么俗套。(不过第三幕里大老爹完全没出场我也是没想到的。)
评分字字触心!"it is the short reach of my arms that hinders, not the length and multiplicity of theirs. With love and with honesty, the embrace is inevitable."

评分复杂的感情和激烈的情绪起伏 连布景都旨在烘托气氛 谎言和欺骗令人惊心 同TW一样我也对Maggie有亲近感 置身事外的Brick身上却有着最强烈的戏剧张力 这个角色塑造得太出色了 而更加动人让我决定打五星的是前言 为了打破孤独这座牢笼 为了感受到不易坦承的思绪 让我们交谈 握手 争斗 毁灭 让我们不要温和地走进那个良夜
