The Cat's Meow

One of Nicola's colleagues had the lead role in a dramatic production of The Cat's Meow, based on the 2001 film of the same name starring Kirsten Dunst and Eddie Izzard. A group from her office were organised to get together and go and see her in the play, so on a wild, wet Friday night we headed down to Cuba Street first, to get a pizza at Heavens Pizza, before going along the the Gryphon Theatre on Ghuznee Street.

The play is set on the yacht of Randolph Hearst, and centres around events on board which culminate in one of the characters leaving the yacht on a stretcher. (No spoilers here!) The production was quite sparse as this is essentially an amateur dramatic production, but the singer and band were very good and the acting first-class. We were very impressed with it and have added the film to our DVD list to watch.
