Time: 3 p.m.
Date: Sunday, Feb. 10
Place: Harris Center Cinema, 1114 10th Ave., Grinnell

Directed by Benedict Andrews, National Theatre’s Cat on a Hot Tin Roof takes place on a steamy night in Mississippi as a wealthy Southern family gathers at their cotton plantation to celebrate Big Daddy’s birthday. The heat is almost as oppressive as the lies family members tell. Brick (Jack O’Connell) and Maggie (Sienna Miller) dance around the secrets and sexual tensions that threaten to destroy their marriage. With the future of the family at stake, which version of the truth is real – and which will win out?

This production contains nudity and mature content considered inappropriate for young audiences.

Spring Schedule

As part of its commitment to bringing high-quality performances from around the world to the local and campus communities, the College will stream two more National Theatre Live encore productions on Sundays at 3 p.m. in the Harris Center Cinema during the spring semester:

The College welcomes the presence of minors at all age-appropriate public events and for informal visits, with the understanding that a parent, legal guardian, or other responsible adult assumes full responsibility for their child’s safety and behavior during such visits or events. In these cases the College expects that an adult responsible for the visiting child takes measures to ensure the child’s safety and sees that the child complies with directions of College personnel. Grinnell College is not responsible for supervision of minors on campus.
