Summary
Actor Elizabeth Ashley and critic John Lahr discuss Tennessee Williams' drama Cat on a hot tin roof with hosts Michael Riedel and Susan Haskins.

Lahr examines the play and how it might have reflected Williams' career difficulties at the time he wrote it. Ashley and Lahr also discuss the current Broadway revival featuring an all-African American cast, and voice their opinions on this casting decision. Brief excerpts from the revival are included.
