Brick, the alcoholic son, is tortured by the death of his best friend and his guilt about their relationship...Margaret, his wife, is tormented by her longing for the husband she cannot possess and her craving for security...Big Daddy, his father, unaware that he is dying of cancer, exults in his lust for life… Gathered together in a piously hypocritical celebration of Big Daddy’s sixty-fifth birthday, the family’s conflicts are suddenly, relentlessly exposed in a series of climaxes that forces each of them to part with the half-lies that have shielded them from reality”.
