Kitty Litter


After making it's debut at E15 Acting School's Debut Festival 2011, Kitty Litter will be making it's way to Somerset to be a part of Homecoming in July. Below some information about this fantastic piece of theatre:

'ASBO' 'Hug a Hoody' 'Broken Britain'
To us these phrases create an image. An image of aggressive young people dressed up in tracksuits, hanging out on estates with bottles of cheap cider and no jobs.
But we feel this is a misrepresentation of young people in Britain today. With Kitty Litter we set out to tell the story of 5 lost people, with no real future, tortured by their past and one decision that will change their lives forever. This is a one act real time play about loss. Loss of youth. Loss of identity. Loss of reality.

Written and Directed by Jac Husebo
