Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (2013, Scarlett Johansson)

Rob Ashford’s sizzling, emotionally ferocious 2013 Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' brought a chilling intensity to the Richard Rodgers Theatre. The raw, textually rich Southern Gothic tragedy unfolds over a single sweltering evening in a Mississippi plantation house, tracking Maggie "The Cat" as she fights a wall of marital detachment and corporate greed to secure her inheritance from the dying patriarch Big Daddy, while her alcoholic husband Brick remains paralyzed by grief. The blockbuster revival achieved historic status due to the volcanic casting of international screen icon Scarlett Johansson as Maggie alongside Benjamin Walker and Ciarán Hinds.
