Tennessee Williams – Cat On A Hot Tin Roof – First Edition 1956
£135.00
A first UK edition, first printing of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams, published by Secker and Warburg, London in 1956. A near fine book free from internal inscriptions, with light handling wear to front board, toning to the text block and spotting to the fore-edge of text block. In a very good unclipped wrapper, chipping to the knuckles of front and rear flap folds, chipping to the head of the spine, fading to the spine, rear panel a little rub worn and browning throughout.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams is a 1955 Pulitzer Prize-winning play exploring family conflict, greed and repressed emotions. Set in the Pollitt family’s Southern plantation, it follows Brick, a former athlete struggling with alcoholism, and his wife, Maggie, as they navigate tensions over inheritance and Brick’s unresolved feelings for his late friend, Skipper. Big Daddy’s terminal illness intensifies the drama, revealing secrets and exposing the family’s fractured relationships and personal struggles.
