Great old melodrama with that Williams poetry. Act one is a long Maggie monologue interspersed with Brick blocking as she tries to have sex with him. Act two is dominated by Big Daddy. Act three is the family. The version of the play I read showed two act threes - one without Big Daddy one with (the latter done at the request of Elia Kazan who I think was right to have Big Daddy back). I would've liked a more definite ending but the play is very good.
