Beware the Cat by William Baldwin
Drayton Arms Theatre, London, SW5 0LJ
Saturday 6th March 2027 7:30PM
Presented by Beyond Shakespeare
Adapted by multi award-winning writer and performer Robert Crighton
The cats are listening…
Based on the proto-gothic horror novel by William Baldwin, Beware the Cat tells the semi-comic tale of the discovery by one Master Streamer that cats can talk, think and reason – and, more important than that, that they’re plotting against us!
Follow his journey from educated sceptic to full on believer, as he tests the secret formula that will allow him to hear the cats talk, and discover what they are planning.
