Written by Noel Coward

Directed by Susanne de Pencier

Garry Essendine, a successful and self-obsessed actor in the midst of a mid-life crisis, finds himself in a situation bordering on farce as he prepares to travel for a touring commitment in Africa . The theatre’s favourite leading man suddenly finds himself juggling a fawning ingenue, a crazed playwright, an aggressive seductress, his ex-wife, and the personal lives of his friends. A delicious drawing room comedy by the master of twentieth century wit.

Presented by: Fraser Valley Gilbert Sullivan Society

The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
