Dead Cats

Author(s): Andrew Westerside
Company: Proto-type
Running time: 1h 15min approx
Age recommendation: 14+

Focussing on media manipulation, governmental lies, political protest, secrecy, democracy, power, and influence, Dead Cats blends new writing, performance, film-making, and an obvious plant.

It shows the truths behind the fictions. In the script by Andrew Westerside, the conversation between unnamed character A (Gillian Lees) and character B (Rachel Baynton) sees them, spar, argue and banter—papering unsavoury truths over with more palatable interpretations.
