You can feel the heat in director Rebecca Frecknall’s production at the Almeida Theatre starring a scorching Daisy Edgar-Jones( Twisters, Normal People) as Maggie, the cat in question, who does all in her power to jolt her inattentive husband, Brick — played superbly by Kingsley Ben-Adir — out of his self-inflicted stupor. The company includes Tracie Bennett, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Richard Fleeshman, Harry Hadden-Paton, Rory Kinnear, Cameron Johnson, Jane Krakowski, Martha Plimpton, Denis O’Hare, Paulo Szot and Chumisa Dornford-May. Departing National Theatre artistic chief Rufus Norris ’ final show as NT leader will be a return of the Alecky Blythe and Adam Cork verbatim musical London Road, about how townsfolk in Ipswich, Suffolk grappled with a serial killer in their midst.
