About

Monday 12 - Saturday 17 January 2026 | 7.30pm
Lace Market Theatre
Tickets from £15

Sex, drugs and the Charleston!

Based on the true story of a mysterious Hollywood death and written by Steven Peros, The Cat's Meow offers us a fascinating cross section of Jazz Era characters who intersect for one notorious weekend in 1924, on board William Randolph Hearst's luxury yacht.

The guest list includes film stars, writers, lawyers, money-men and the ever present frivolous flappers, but most notable of all, Charlie Chaplin himself, who has his own, more mischievous, 'recreational' motives for being on-board

Hollywood wouldn't be Hollywood if there weren't a story of illicit love affairs, betrayal, substance abuse, cover-ups and murder. The Cat's Meow suggests one of the more salacious theories of what might have happened to Movie Mogul, Thomas Ince, leading to his sudden and untimely death.

A stylish and sardonically funny exposé of corrupt Tinsel-town values; this darkly comic morality play is laced with clandestine romance, Hollywood excess, and steadily heating tensions.

Contains reference to drugs and alcohol, scenes of an adult nature, gunshot and loud noises.
