Blood on the Cat's Neck

What better to launch King’s Cross Theatre’s new program for low budget, high-risk work than the Australian premiere of an immersive, “unperformable” play? Written in 1971, German playwright Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s play follows Phoebe Zeitgeist, an alien sent to earth to witness human democracy first hand. Described by director Saro Lusty-Cavallari as “a sweeping look at all the different ways we tear each other down, exploit each other and look for the cause of our problems in people less powerful than us”, the cast includes Alex Chalwell, Jack Crumlin, Jemwel Danao, Deng Deng, Laura Djanegara, Deborah Galanos, Alice Keohavong, Emma Kew, Brendan Miles and Annie Stafford.
