5.0 out of 5 stars The best play I ever read - Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, 21 Jun 2008
One of the things I am most grateful for from my education is that at A-Level we were made to study 'Cat On A Hot Tin Roof'. It totally changed my perceptions of how a play could be written and how it could prevoke thoughts in the viewer/reader with such subtlety and charm.

T. Williams is now and I hope will always be my favourite play-write. Although as another review of this play states - the film does not do this play justice, I would still give the film (with Paul Newman and Liz Taylor) huge credit for adapting it sympathetically at a time when hollywood just didn't do a film showcasing this type of drama with ambiguous endings.

T Willaims himself was asked to rewrite parts to make them more audiance friendly. While the changes between the versions are not earth shatteringly different I find that depending on my mood I will read different versions at different times.

For anyone who wants to emmerse themselves in a play and be tempted by flawed and beautiful characters I would whole-heartedly recommend this play to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars 3 Excellent American Plays, 31 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Other Plays (Penguin Modern Classics) (Paperback)
Though I'm not a fan of American culture Williams takes the top prize: all 3 are excellent. The tension is perfect and the atmosphere steamy (that word seems to fit so well). I would also recommend the films but of course plays first! You will be gripped!
