Clockwork Canaries

It is an ill-omened day when Tatiana Dressler pulls a drowning cat from the surging waters of the River Schwartz. Tatiana’s father, a struggling inventor, has designs on the unfortunate feline, naming the cat Count Frederick Sebastian and setting to work on an ingenious contraption to humanise the creature. The cat is of a murderous disposition, developing a taste for a neighbour’s prized canaries – but canary slaughter is not the only suspicious activity being investigated at the Dressler residence. Death-fixated Tatiana fears the worst is just around the corner.

A play for adults but suitable for brave children aged 8+
