Featuring a dynamic cast led by Academy Award nominee and two-time Tony winner James Earl Jones, Tony Award winner Phylicia Rashad, Olivier Award winner Adrian Lester and Tony Award nominee Sanaa Lathan.
The production is directed by renowned Emmy and Golden Globe Award winning director, actor and choreographer Debbie Allen, who is best known for playing Lydia Grant in the original film and television series of ‘Fame’.
After great success on Broadway Debbie Allen’s revival of one of Tennessee Williams best-know works comes to London.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof paints a rich and timeless portrait of a Southern Family in Crisis. It takes a raw and real look at the themes of family, relationships, inheritance and sexuality. The cast give a powerful portrayal of the underlying darkness prevalent in the family birthday gathering.
The action centres on Brick (Adrian Lester) and Maggie’s (Sanna Lathan) turbulent relationship. The strikingly beautiful Maggie, ‘The Cat’ gives an outstanding performance as Brick’s desperate and sexually frustrated wife. Adrian Lester cold and bitter demeanour gives the production a great edge. His battle with sexuality and James Earl Jones and his deep Darth Vader voice powerfully filled the shoes of patriarch and tycoon Big Daddy with great energy. It will be fantastic to have an actor of his calibre on stage. Big Mamma is delightfully played by Phylicia Rashad, best known for her off-stage role as wife Claire Huxtable from the TV sitcom ‘The Cosby Show’.
Maggie and Brick’s large bedroom suite in the large Mississippi Mansion provides the setting. The use of light, streaming through the large Victorian style window panels is visually stunning and highly effective.
Don’t miss the opportunity to see this star studded cast at the Novello Theatre and at the same time raising funds for the ACLT charity. If you have already seen the show and are seriously considering going to see it again, please come and support the ACLT on this particular night.
