Following a sold-out run on Broadway, award winning director Debbie Allen’s explosive production of Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning classic Cat on a Hot Tin Roof arrives in London's West End in December for a strictly limited season.

Brimming with trademark emotional intensity and insightful wit, this bold new staging of a timeless family portrait features a dynamic all black cast led by Academy Award nominee James Earl Jones and Tony Award winner Phylicia Rashad. Also starring are Adrian Lester, Sanaa Lathan, Richard Blackwood, Derek Griffiths, Guy Burgess, Claudia Cadette, Nina Sosanya, Peter De Jersey, Susan Lawson-Reynolds and Joseph Mydell.

A powerful and tempestuous Southern family gathers at a sixty-fifth birthday celebration for patriarch Big Daddy Pollitt who is unaware he is dying of cancer. In a calculating and manipulative attempt to secure their part of his enormous fortune, family members decide to hide the truth about his diagnosis from him and his wife, Big Mama. As tensions mount between brothers Brick and Gooper, trouble is also brewing between alcoholic ex-football hero Brick and his beautiful wife Maggie. As their troubled relationship comes to a stormy climax, a shockwave of secrets is finally revealed.
