CAttS:
From ‘acclaimed clown’ and self-described ’emerging idiot’ Frankie Thompson, comes an out-of-control one-woman adaptation of Cats (the musical). But it’s not about cats, it’s not about musicals, and it’s not about Cats the musical.
CAttS is a lip-sync ballet through the distractions and obsessions that help us cope with an increasingly dystopian reality. Because after all, who wouldn’t rather think about cats?
