The Gladiator II actor wasn’t in the audience to watch his Normal People co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones play Maggie last night, but that wasn’t the only way the evening felt unstarry: this version of Streetcar only skims the surface, rarely getting into the darkness at the heart of Williams’ play about trauma, ageing and identity.Frecknall’s production feels paced like a sitcom and comes stuffed with gags that feel tonally inappropriate. Characters are rarely given long enough to languish over a line, or enough pause to extract the dramatic effect from Williams’ biting playtext. Streetcar is long – some productions skim close to four hours – but it’s not that this 180-minute experience drags. More that it washes over you like a soap opera, the characters feeling one-note. As young lover Maggie, Daisy Edgar-Jones is irritating, never defusing from a perpetual state of angry-shouty-indoor voice in the first act that quickly loses potency. She seems nervous in the role and doesn’t put her own stamp on it, but much of the direction, which has her fizzing about shouting, is ultimately not her fault.\n\nCat On A Hot Tin Roof review: a paint-by-numbers exercise in storytellingIn act one we meet Maggie, who is furious at her partner Brick for his drunkenness, refusal to sleep with her and inability to protect his family fortune from the clutches of his brother and sister-in-law as news that the family patriarch, Big Daddy, has become unwell. Kingsley Ben-Adir is more enigmatic as the curled-up-in-a-corner Brick; when he shouts, you listen, because he’s so often silently agonising in his own ennui. Lennie James is often formidable as Big Daddy, even if Frecknell’s frenetic direction often has him and the wider cast pacing around with a weird effervescence given these are people whose worldview is imploding. The most interesting character ends up being Seb Carrington’s Pianist, a new role projecting the internalised sexual desires of Brick. His piano playing and animalistic choreography are nice tonal scene-setters that ground us in the darkness missing elsewhere. The tenseness is sometimes diffused by occasions of over-production too: a revelation about Big Daddy’s health layered with reverb and electronic drum-beat feels OTT. \n\nChloe Lamford’s set design – one high-ceiling gold-hued room with a piano in it – feels expansive but for no obvious reason, stylishly one-note, like much of the rest. It ramps up by the end of the third act when you eventually get to spend a moment with a character experiencing some real-time emotion, but it’s a rare moment in what too often feels like a paint-by-numbers exercise in storytelling. Cat On A Hot Tin Roof plays at the Almeida Theatre until 1 February 2025","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.3","shortVersion":"4.29.3","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2492710905"}
