sinopsis
In a plantation house, a family celebrates the sixty-fifth birthday of Big Daddy, as they sentimentally dub him. The mood is somber, despite the festivities, because a number of evils poison the gaiety: greed, sins of the past and desperate, clawing hopes for the future spar with one another as the knowledge that Big Daddy is dying slowly makes the rounds. Maggie, Big Daddys daughter-in-law, wants to give him the news that shes finally become pregnant by Big Daddys favorite son, Brick, but Brick wont cooperate in Maggies plans and prefers to stay in a mild alcoholic haze the entire length of his visit. Maggie has her own interests at heart in wanting to become pregnant, of course, but she also wants to make amends to Brick for an error in judgment that nearly cost her her marriage. Swarming around Maggie and Brick are their intrusive, conniving relatives, all eager to see Maggie put in her place and Brick tumbled from his position of most-beloved son. By evenings end, Maggies ingenuity, fortitude and passion will set things right, and Bricks love for his father, never before expressed, will retrieve him from his path of destruction and return him, helplessly, to Maggies loving arms
