Anläßlich »Big Daddys« Geburtstag trifft die gesamte Familie zusammen. Zeit, alte Familienstreitigkeiten wieder aufbrechen zu lassen, alte Haßgefühle zu aktivieren, aber auch Zeit, um sich endlich der Wahrheit zu stellen. Die Katze ist die sexgeladene Maggie, die mit ihrer Vitalität versucht, den Bannkreis von Heuchelei, Selbsttäuschung und verlogener Moral zu durchbrechen, um ihren Mann Brick und ihre Ehe zu retten und sich dabei selbst einer Lüge bedienen muß. ›Die Katze auf dem heißen Blechdach‹ brachte seinem Autor zum zweitenmal den Pulitzerpreis und Liz Taylor in der Filmrolle der Maggie Pollitt Weltruhm ein. Tennessee Williams' berühmtestes Theaterstück liegt nun in einer neuen Übersetzung von Jörn van Dyck vor. Der Band enthält jedoch nicht nur das für die Broadway-Uraufführung geschönte Ende der zweiten Fassung von Tennessee Williams, sondern auch das ursprüngliche Ende der Originalfassung.
