Following the original fairy tale, this play presents an arrogant, swaggering Puss who struts though a series of adventures which give his young master position, riches and a happily-ever-after curtain. The young master's two elder sisters scoff when their brother receives only a cat in their father's will, but it is Puss, the self-styled "truly remarkable cat." The highlight is Puss' encounter with a most terrifying ogre whom he persuades to take on a mouse's form. That is obviously the end of the ogre and the installation of princess, master and Puss in the late ogre's castle!
This is a very simple play to produce. The characters are funny and the script makes the fairy tale come to life. This play will be loved by people of all ages.
It had a plot that could be followed by younger kids but still had humor for the older kids and adults. Every now and then a 30 minute play fits our needs perfectly.
