Cat On A Hot Tin Roof Ntombizodwa Ndlovu (Maggie) image Helen Murray With a predominantly black casting, the drama is carried out in the confines of Brick and Maggie’s bedroom on Big Daddy’s cotton plantation – ‘the largest this side of the Mississippi Delta’ we are informed on more than one occasion. Utilising Williams’ original script, with its liberal use of swearing and overt references to homosexuality, the production is alive and guttural. And at more than three hours long, the play requires a show of stamina from the audience.īut in this production at the Royal Exchange by Roy Alexander Weise, time is not an issue.
