具體描述

Tennessee Williams was born in 1911 in Columbus, Mississippi, where his grandfather was the episcopal clergyman. When his father, a travelling salesman, moved with his family to St Louis some years later, both he and his sister found it impossible to settle down to city life. He entered college during the Depression and left after a couple of years to take a clerical job in a shoe company. He stayed there for two years, spending the evening writing. He entered the University of Iowa in 1938 and completed his course, at the same time holding a large number of part-time jobs of great diversity. He received a Rockefeller Fellowship in 1940 for his play Battle of Angels, and he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 and 1955. Among his many other plays Penguin have published Summer and Smoke (1948), The Rose Tattoo (1951), Camino Real (1953), Baby Doll (1957), Orpheus Descending (1957), Something Unspoken (1958), Suddenly Last Summer (1958), Period of Adjustment (1960), The Night of the Iguana (1961), The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore (1963), and Small Craft Warnings (1972). Tennessee Williams died in 1983.

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.

##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。

當年老師說布萊希特好,在課堂上講瞭很多,可我的記憶已經像喝瞭春藥後一般將我背叛,當時聽得雲裏霧裏,後來接觸瞭點易蔔生,貝剋特,還有尤金奧尼爾,一發不可收拾,戲劇裏,生活化,口語化,留白多,言之有盡,味之無窮,舞颱上場景模擬,高潮處入境,似幻似真,正是我之所...

##Mendacity is a system that we live in. Liquor is one way out an' death's the other……

##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。
