Howard gets ‘Tin’
I have a few words for James Morrison, whose letter disparaged Terrence Howard, asserting that, “He doesn’t get the play [‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’]” [Letters, March 9].
Obviously Mr. Morrison has not seen Terrence in the play. I had the pleasure of seeing the play last week and I assure you, he absolutely gets it. If anything, I took issue with Debbie Allen’s direction, giving moments of the play the feel of a sitcom. But Terrence’s interpretation of Brick is nuanced, modern and highly effective.
To make such a condemnation when you have not even seen the production makes you the one that is suffering from “oblivious ignorance.”
