As Roberto juggles two passionate affairs with what may be the same woman, he’s about to learn that the game has changed for good – a game that someone has to lose.
Roberto works in a bar and meets multitudes of women but nothing can prepare him for Cat. Drunk, desperate and on a failed date, he takes her number through pity and sleeps with her out of lust.
A week later he meets Cleo: confident, indifferent, independent – everything Roberto desires. The only problem is Cat and Cleo look, sound…and smell…the same, yet assure him they’re different people.
Cat and Mouse features two of New Zealand’s hottest young theatre and TV performers, Stephen Fitzgibbon (The Ten Steps, Honeymooners, Loser, LUV) and Hannah Marshall (All Saints, Shortland St, Diplomatic Immunity, Loser, LUV).
"This is one of those shows that you’ll be talking about long after the curtain falls, a must see for anyone who loves good theatre". (Same Same Sydney).
"Thomas Sainsbury is a remarkable talent…clearly blessed – or cursed? – with a compulsion to make plays. I can see him fast becoming a classic playwright of his generation". Theatreview (NZ)
