While wholly unacquainted with Tennessee Williams’ work, I went to see the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club’s production of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” with various expectations. After all, it couldn’t be too hard to peg some key elements that you would expect from any play about a Southern plantation family written by a Southern man.

There have been no beheadings, death marches, starved prisoners or holocausts at Abu Ghraib. There are not millions dying in Iraq. Poniewozik is not subject to rationing or saving tin cans, and the females in his family can get all the pantyhose they want. The U.S. has not even instituted a military draft. By making this absurd comparison, he trivializes the sacrifices and accomplishments of those who lived through or died in WW II. We probably...
