Meet The Actor Burning Up The London Stage In "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof"
Photos from the new London production of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof starring Sienna Miller and Jack O'Connell are making theatergoers work up a sweat.
If you were a fan of the U.K. series Skins then you should probably remember O'Connell, who played bad boy Cook. He also starred in Angelina Jolie's Unbroken and Jodi Foster's Money Monster.
In the Tennessee Williams' classic, he plays Brick, the aging football hero hiding his true desire, with Miller as his frustrated wife, Maggie.
Cat made its Broadway debut in 1955 and went on get four Tony nominations and win the Pulitzer Prize. Brick has been interpreted as being a repressed gay man, though the words "gay" or "homosexual" are ever uttered in the play.
The London run ends October 7, but director Benedict Andrews' acclaimed Young Vic production of A Streetcar Named Desire hopped the pond for a New York run, so hopefully the same will happen for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
