“Death and the Cat” is a quirky comedy and a darkly whimsical exploration of the bonds of friendship, love, loss, fear of the unknown, mortality and the mysteries of the universe. This imaginative production, penned by Robert Emlyn Slater, offers an engaging blend of absurd humour with poignant insights that captivates the audience from start to finish. Slater’s witty script sparkles with laugh-out-loud moments, particularly through its vividly drawn characters.

“Death and the Cat is a stellar addition to anyone’s bucket list.”

“Death and the Cat is packed with enjoyability – silly and sincere, it’s good fun with a touch of heart, a genuine success of a playwriting debut.”

Testimonials

“Robert writes with flair, excitement and heart. He doesn’t take himself too seriously, and this is clear in his writing, which is often silly, fun, and unpredictable. Robert has an unrivalled wit and a truly unique style of comedy.
