Williams provided the rich material for the Pulitzer-winning “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” but The Gamm’s director, Steve Kidd, brought deep understanding and thoughtfulness to this production. This is superlative work by him and the entire cast and creative team, making a memorable conclusion to The Gamm’s 41st season.

"Sure, there’s no shortage of steaming, streaming TV dramas like “The White Lotus,” “Yellowstone,” and “Succession” to get your fill of heightened family dysfunction. But Gamm’s current production allows those lucky enough to be in attendance to hear that click when the real world goes away and the sweltering, lyrically poetic world Williams created kicks in and takes over."

"The Gamm Theatre’s sizzling production of Tennessee Williams’ “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” set in the sweltering Mississippi Delta on the 65th birthday of the Pollitt family patriarch and centered around the dysfunctional Southern family’s lies, secrets, passions and fears, offers an unforgettably searing take on one of the great American family dramas."

"I truly commend The Gamm Theatre for choosing Cat on a Hot Tin Roof as the final show of its 41st season. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is phenomenal. It is provocative. It asks hard questions. It asks us to sit in discomfort.

And perhaps most importantly, it asks us to talk.

I think Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is exactly the kind of play we need to be entering into conversation with right now, and exactly the kind of play we should be discussing with the people around us long after we leave the theater."

As I am writing this for the Rhode Island section of Broadway World, I feel as though I am uniquely equipped to talk about Tennessee Williams, or at least the world that so often lives inside his work, being that I am a Southerner who has now spent roughly thirteen years in New England.

'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' is an example of artists working at the top of their abilities to tell a story about very troubled people. It’s an intense and at times, uncomfortable experience, but what a thrill it is to see such wonderful actors all together."
