“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” the story of a former football stud hiding his homosexuality from his frustrated wife, his domineering father and himself, was written by Tennessee Williams in 1955. But Sam Gold, the Tony Award-winning director of “Fun Home” and “A Doll’s House Part 2,” argues its themes of greed and deceit, repression and desire will resonate in fresh ways with modern audiences.

“It’s a play where there are people trying to lie and take advantage of other people’s vulnerabilities so they can come out on top,” Gold says. “It’s about a father and a son who talk about mendacity, and that word, mendacity, is a word that should be on the tip of our tongues today. Tennessee Williams was living in a time of great mendacity, and so are we.”
