Ripe with verbal fireworks, savage humor, and sexual friction, Tennessee Williams paints an indelible portrait of a powerful Mississippi clan in this Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece. Surrounded by circling vultures and greedy in-laws, the iconic characters of Maggie "the Cat," her alcoholic husband, Brick, and the bombastic patriarch, Big Daddy, maneuver through a sultry maze of avarice and hypocrisy. Each, in turn, is forced to confront ghosts from the past as well as uncertain futures while deceitful family members plot and scheme to secure their portion of the family fortune.
