Providence: TEXTplosion, Perishable Theatre’s on-going textual experiment brings you words like you’ve never heard before! TEXTplosion is a staged reading series that serves up the brand new…the fresh…the raw!!! Don’t miss the latest installment: Death of a CAT.
A proper family, feuding twins, a cat, the devil, and. . . a fast-acting PLAGUE. Death of a Cat, written by C. Denby Swanson is a contagious, dark comedy set in the late 1800s. The only ray of hope in this desolate and dying world is the town doctor, who might just be the devil himself.
Called, “hysterically epic,” by the Austin Chronicle, Death of a Cat is an outrageous tale that must be heard to be believed! This staged reading of Death of a Cat is directed by the Coordinator of the
12th Annual Women’s Playwrighting Festival-- Perishable’s own Becca Wolff!
Death of a Cat was written by Texas playwright and New England expat, C. Denby Swanson, a graduate of Smith College, the National Theatre Institute, and the Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas at Austin, where she was a Michener Fellow in Playwriting and Screenwriting. Swanson has been twice commissioned by the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis.Her play 178 Head will be published by Smith & Kraus in the 2004 edition of Ten Minute Plays for Three Actors, edited by Michael Bigelow Dixon; and a monologue from God Is Kind to Some Women will be included in the new book of Monologues for Women by Women, edited by Liz Engelman and Tori Haring-Smith. The Death of a Cat, had its world premiere at Salvage Vanguard Theatre in Austin, Texas in September 2004, during the company’s tenth anniversary season.
There will be a short talk-back with the playwright, immediately following the reading.
