ADC Theatre

In deepest Mississippi, a storm is brewing. It's Big Daddy Pollitt's sixty-fifth birthday. His family have flocked to his forty-thousand acre plantation to celebrate. But they know something he doesn't...

Since its Pulitzer Prize-winning premier and the motion picture starring screen legends Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor, this searing razor-sharp examination of sex, lies and a family on the brink of collapse has been universally acknowledged as a modern classic. Now - hot on the heels of an Olivier award-winning West End revival - we present some of Cambridge's finest talent in a fresh rethinking of this hilarious, sensuous masterpiece.

"Irresistible, stunning, superb theatre." (New York Times)

"An exhilarating evening of savage comedy." (Guardian)

"Dark laughter mingled with deep pain - a harrowing, blackly comic drama of dysfunctional family life." (Telegraph)

"A powerful work of art - perverse and scandalous." (Mark Winchell)

"I'm not living with you. We occupy the same cage, that's all."

Cost: £6-£10
