Danse Macabre
‘THE NZBS production .of Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat, by Barbara Harper, left me feeling more mouse than man. It was, I think, the most exciting thriller I have heard, and my overwhelming sense of relief when it ended had nothing to do with aesthetics. It was one of those rare things, an essay in the macabre that is logical on both the natural and the _ super-natural level. Could one have been more detached at the time one would have taken pleasure in the beautiful construction, with all joints dove-tailed and no rough edges. Not recommended for cat-lovers, but unwilling owners of cats will find it explains a lot. -M.B
