Tennessee Williams’ twentieth century masterpiece Cat on a Hot Tin Roof played a strictly limited season in London’s West End in 2017. An alcoholic ex-football player drinks his days away, having failed to come to terms with his sexuality and his real feelings for his football buddy who died after an ambiguous accident. His wife is crucified by her desperation to make him desire her: but he resists the affections of his wife. His reunion with his father—who is dying of cancer—jogs a host of memories and revelations for both father and son.

This is the first one of these where I felt like it was more noticeable how much better it would be in person. The set design is really cool, imagine it would be even more so live. Sienna Miller and Jack O’Connell are both outstanding.

My first time sitting down to watch a NT performance, and GOD I love how they go about executing characterization. The plot being so reliant on dialog and pacing makes every line delivery phenomenal. So good I almost forgot I only put it on for Jack O’Connell
