When the Cat's Away

“When the Cat's Away” is a British situation comedy. The title cat may appear at the least expected moment, and then the action speeds up and becomes hard to control.

The characters are two English couples married for 20 years. Their honeymoon trip to Saint Tropez falls on their twentieth wedding anniversary. The play raises questions whose answers may surprise:

• how the couples will cope with their mutual barbs,
• how to reignite passion in a clumsy husband,
• how that husband tries to keep up with his sex-addict brother-in-law,
• how to impress a wealthy sister without killing her with smoked salmon,
• whether a toilet brush bearing the image of the royal couple can help a 20-year-old commit suicide.

Production team:

• direction: Andrzej Rozhin,
• set and costume design: Joanna Pielat-Rusinkiewicz,
• translation: Klaudyna Rozhin,
• musical arrangement: Agnieszka Putkiewicz.

Practical information: the performance lasts over 2 hours. The organizers promise plenty of humor and laughter throughout.
