THE CAT THAT DID NOT BLINK is a hard hitting true story addressing the fears of ordinary people, when their family cat will suddenly fix it’s eyes on something you can’t see, making you assume there’s evil afoot.

However, in this heart warming story, a little boy called Tony decides to use this force for good, and enters his cat into the International No Blinking Staring Competition, kicking off an incredibly odyssey of discovery with very serious and dramatic consequences.

The production is being sponsored by Johnsons No More Tears Bubble Bath, so wages are Equity minimum.

Cast as follows:
Tony (7-9 years old) – We want to cast an older actor who can look convincingly like a 7 year old. This part really holds the story together, so must be a good actor with circus skills.

Ian - Ian is the staring cat. We want to cast an actual cat for this role. Stage experiences is desirable but not necessary. Stage combat skills, and an appreciation of the finer things is life is a must however.

Edward "Eyeball" Tottington (70’s) – Edward is a staring world champion. Unchallenged for nearly 30 years he is beaten by Ian the staring cat and consequently throws himself in front of a speeding pony.

Mrs Foof – (30’s – 40’s). A woman with little ankles and a slightly overlarge head.

Mr Cart (80’s) – An old man with a hat and some post.
