A sizzling drama of desire, avarice and deception set in the American Deep South, Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is publish ed in Penguin Modern Classics.'Big Daddy' Pollitt, the richest cotton planter in the Mississippi Delta, is about to celebrate his sixty-fifth birthday. His two sons have returned home for the occasion: Gooper, his wife and children, Brick, an ageing football hero who has turned to drink, and his feisty wife Maggie. As the hot summer evening unfolds, the veneer of happy family life and Southern gentility gradually slips away as unpleasant truths emerge and greed, lies, jealousy and suppressed sexuality threaten to reach boiling point. Made into a film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a masterly portrayal of family tensions and individuals trapped in prisons of their own making.
##很威廉姆斯啊……
評分##Mendacity is a system that we live in. Liquor is one way out an' death's the other……
評分##寫的最傳神的並非美麗動人的貓女maggie也不是性嚮變幻莫測的英俊球星Brick,而是練達人生又對人生無可奈何的Big parents.
評分##第二幕對the difficulty of communication的展現太神瞭……mendacity! Plot 太差靠颱詞救,第二幕救迴來瞭第三幕兩個版本都不行。
評分##想要瞭解美國南部口音,究竟是多麼粗暴的魅力,就在這裏瞭。
評分##Brick人設的連貫性明顯還是原版的好,對比下來Broadway version的轉摺也過於突兀瞭點..就像田納西自己說的I don’t believe that a conversation, however revelatory, ever effects so immediate a change in the heart or conduct of a person in Brick’s state of spiritual disrepair. (Big Daddy真是人間清醒
評分##誰能比在燙鐵皮屋頂的貓更焦躁不安,我們都在等我們腦中的click。一場關於癌癥、遺産、愛情、傢庭、同性戀、酗酒和欺騙的生日會,典型的偶閤傢庭,各懷所圖,或單純或貪婪或絕望,人之常情的復雜性,矛盾鮮明卻引而不發。前兩幕可謂intense到極緻,第三幕的兩個版本個人更喜歡第一個,這是個不需要溫情的劇本。 沒買到中譯本,隻好讀原版,劇情過於流暢和緊張使得頻頻的錯字和縮寫也不是什麼閱讀大問題。隻是不明白這個寫在1954年的劇本為何跟網上分類到兒童讀物裏麵瞭。
評分##自以為比streetcar會更有tension。And once again sensing the lack of communication under fast paced, breathless, overwhelming dialogues. 喜歡original script,結尾多有意思啊
評分##作者版引而不發,比百老匯版有味
