The Cat's Meow @ Lace Market Theatre
Details
"Based on the true story of a mysterious Hollywood death, The Cat's Meow offers us a fascinating cross section of Jazz Era characters who intersect for one notorious weekend in 1924, on board William Randolph Hearst's luxury yacht.
Sex and drugs and the Charleston!
The guest list includes film stars, writers, lawyers, money-men and the ever present frivolous flappers, but most notable of all, Charlie Chaplin himself, who has his own, more mischievous, ‘recreational’ motives for being on-board.
Hollywood wouldn’t be Hollywood if there weren’t a story of illicit love affairs, betrayal, substance abuse, cover-ups and murder. The Cat’s Meow suggests one of the more salacious theories of what might have happened to the Movie Mogul Thomas Ince, leading to his sudden and untimely death.
A stylish and sardonically funny exposé of corrupt Tinsel-town values; this darkly comic morality play is laced with clandestine romance, Hollywood excess, and steadily heating tensions."
Join me to celebrate my Birthday this week at our favourite theatre, watching the large cast entertain us with this 2009 play by Steven Peros. Interval ice cream will also be on the agenda.!
