Trajal Harrell: Maggie the Cat

The postmodern master Trajal Harrell turns his keen eye on the figure of Maggie from Tennessee Williams’s Cat on a Hot Tin Roof—the sexually frustrated Southern striver memorably played by Elizabeth Taylor in the 1958 film version. The piece, which incorporates elements ranging from ancient Greek theater to voguing, premiered in the U.K. in 2019; this production marks its New York debut.
