THE CAT FLAP by Dennis Diamond & Patrick Blosse

The Cat Flap is a comedy-thriller in three acts with a cast of 10 (5 male, 5 female). Characters ages range from late teens to about 80. One actor inhabits 5 personalities. The action takes place between November 1963 and July 1964

The play is an unapologetic celebration of Agatha Christie’s body of work. All the usual elements are there: unexplained deaths, a large handful of potential suspects, red herrings, an amateur detective, a bumbling bobby, and a bristling colonel with a loaded 12-bore. What’s more, it’s packed to the gunwales with anagrams and affectionate references to Christie titles, characters and plots (and some that are dropped in with the subtlety of a house-brick).
