The Tent (± 1,25 hrs)
In a small and conservative South African village, where everybody knows everybody but secrets are hidden, the local petrol station is the centre of village gossip. One morning a tent appears on the open land next to the garage. The tent and its occupants change the lives, alliances, relationships and futures of all in the village. The Tent is a humorous, provocative, and powerful play about how South Africans feel about themselves and others.

The story of CATS is based on a series of poems by T.S. Eliot.
At night in a rubbish dump, the Jellicle Cats come out to play.

Dawn comes, and Old Deuteronomy gathers the cats together for his announcement.
