Cat
on a Hot Tin Roof
The
Edge Theatre Company: Through 11/17
There is a fine production
of Tennessee Williams’ “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” at The Edge Theatre. Directed by Angela Astle, The Edge
continues its reputation for taking risks.
Brian Landis Folkins’
portrayal of Brick is a compelling one that is modulated with true
craftsmanship.
Brian Landis Folkins and Maggy Stacy
Maggy Stacy’s sultry
performance in the role of Maggie the cat is a convincing one.
Emma Messenger is
outstanding as Big Mama. Her character is deliciously real in her aggravating
and annoying characterization.

Marc Stith’s Gooper
is imbued with so much humanity one feels an empathy for a character one generally
dislikes.
Russell Costen’s Big
Daddy is powerful.

Justin Lane’s scenic
design for Astle’s vision of this in the round presentation is extremely well
done. Aided by the sound design of Kenny Storms and Steve Caldarola’s lighting
design the show is blessed with external natural sounds and explosions of
fireworks. Caroline Smith’s costumes are spot on.
