Joe Rosario is back at the helm, with scenic design by Matt Imhoff, lighting design by Christian Specht, stage management by Jesse Meckl, and sound design by Tomas Correa. Casting is by Ruth Stage, which produces with Tony winner Joseph Grano (Jersey Boys, A Beautiful Noise).
The recent run, which concluded August 14, 2022, was the first Off-Broadway revival of the play allowed by the Tennessee Williams estate. The southern storm of a play about greed, deceit, self-delusion, sexual desire, repression, homophobia, sexism, and the looming specter of death won the Pulitzer Prize in 1955. Ruth Stage's interpretation is set in an estate in the Mississippi Delta of Big Daddy Pollitt, a wealthy cotton tycoon. The play examines the relationships among members of Big Daddy's highly dysfunctional family, primarily between his son Brick and Maggie the "Cat," Brick's wife.
The production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
