Directed by Tony and Emmy Award-winner Rob Ashford, the play will begin preview performances Tuesday, December 18 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre (226 West 46th Street).  Opening night is Thursday, January 17.

In the show, “Big Daddy” Pollitt, the richest cotton planter in the Mississippi Delta, is about to celebrate his 65th birthday. He is distressed by the rocky relationship between his beloved son Brick, an aging football hero who has turned to drink, and his beautiful and feisty wife Maggie. As the hot summer evening unfolds, the veneer of Southern gentility slips away as unpleasant truths emerge and greed, lies and suppressed sexuality reach a boiling point.
