There is excitement and drama for families when one brave cat hits one dangerous city.

It is a big choice for the young Mesopotamian Blue cat Varjak Paw to make: should he stay comfortably at home or venture out into the threatening world beyond? Find out what adventures are in store in this action-packed and often funny tale that brings to life the well-loved hero of SF Said’s award-winning Varjak Paw books.

Julian Philips’s music is full of contrasts – witty, dramatic, and evocative – and the words are by the acclaimed comic writer and performer Kit Hesketh-Harvey. All this makes for a thrilling musical tale about growing up, discovering friendship and thinking for yourself.

Suitable for theatregoers aged eight and older.
