This frenetic and dynamic show displays the very best of physical theatre and the very worst of modern life. The protagonist desperately attempts to survive a world of constant pressure, manic activity and fear, where everyone competes and no one communicates
In response to the letter from Councillors Ken and Ann Norman (February 9), I feel I must write in defence of the Cats Protection League and perhaps answer their question, "what possessed this organisation to remove Kitty?". The situation appeared to
