ABOUT CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
1958 | DCP | USA | D: Richard Brooks

A washed-up, alcoholic ex-football star (Paul Newman) and his frustrated wife (Elizabeth Taylor) navigate lies, repressed desire and shame on a plantation in the US South.

Nominated for six Oscars, the film adaptation of Tennessee Williams' classic play has been criticised for denying its own central theme – the denial of sexuality. For modern audiences, the added layer of self-censorship in the film enhances the viewing experience.

‘Homosexuality is everywhere and nowhere in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. And perhaps that unspokenness is realer than the play.’ – The Guardian

ABOUT THE BELCO JAZZ BAND

A crowd favourite among local swing dancers, the band brings joyful energy and authentic connection to every performance.
