My play is about a man who marries a witch who used to be his cat… but it’s loosely based on the true story of Louis Wain (1860 – 1939), the Victorian cat painter whose obsession turned into madness in his later years.
Here are the pictures from my short play – That Summer Day – performed at The Tron during The Tron 100 Festival 2016, staring Natalie Clark, Calum Beaton & Cat Elliott, and directed by Wendy Turner.
