wrote "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" in 1955.
The story centers on a former football player who conceals his homosexuality from his wife, his father, and himself.
“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.”
Gold stated that the play's themes of greed, deceit, repression, and desire will connect with modern audiences. He highlighted the concept of mendacity as particularly relevant today.
