The play is about two unlikely neighbours. Doris wants everyone to think she is a talented model and actress and Felix wants everyone to think he is a talented writer, but that’s not quite the truth.

Both have identity issues and through the course of the play they start to discover who they really are.

“The Owl and the Pussycat is a heart-warming comedy about unexpected love and the attraction of opposites,” said director Mark Stratton.
