A modern twist on the classic story. The play takes place on a secluded estate and follows a group of contemporary artists as they navigate unrequited love, artistic competition, and personal obsessions. Through the characters’ humorous and heartfelt pursuit of love and recognition, as well as their struggle against narcissism and obsession, the play addresses the challenges of our digital age. With powerful emotions and sharp dialogue, this poignant performance explores the complexities of the human condition.

What People Are Saying
The greatest compliment that I can pay to this tremendously powerful production [...] is that for almost two and a half hours I did not once squirm in my seat, check the time, or maybe even take a breath. This Cat on a Hot Tin Roof redefines riveting theater.

True art is to address challenging topics and weave in a thick thread of humor; Folsom's vision made this art possible. Don't miss out on the realization of this vision of a Checkhov classic.

In the relatively recent history of The Classics Theatre Project, I have stood in awe of their brilliance for staging from the theatre canon, and making them vibrant, accessible and relevant. Their treatments are intelligent and entertaining, with a keen and kinetic spin.
