Professor Michael O'Neill, Department of Theater, Lafayette College, will talk about directing Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at Lafayette, and the many productions of the play that have changed over time as society has become more tolerant of homosexuality and less tolerant of racism and bullying.
The talk accompanies the National Theatre Live screening of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, recorded at London's West End in 2017 before a live audience. Following the critically acclaimed production of A Streetcar Named Desire, Benedict Andrews' "thrilling revival" (The New York Times) of this 20th-century masterpiece stars Sienna Miller, Jack O'Connell, and Colm Meaney as Big Daddy.
6:15 p.m. Pre-show talk with Michael O'Neill, open to ticket holders.
7:00 p.m. National Theatre Live screening of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
