What happens when you’re falling for someone but don’t share their beliefs? What happens when you’re so sure you’re right you won’t move an inch? Does love stand a chance?
In the heady world of the Romantic Poets, scientific theories and certainties, can lust and love keep two polar opposites together beyond the first night?
‘Killing The Cat’ is a new transatlantic collaboration between an Anglo-American writing team and UK and US producers. With book and lyrics by ‘Walking With Dinosaurs’ writer Warner Brown and music by radical American composer Joshua Schmidt, ‘Killing The Cat’ has its world première in London this spring, prior to Off-Broadway, directed by Jenny Eastop.
