Varjak Paw
Libretto Kit Hesketh-Harvey
Varjak Paw is a young Mesopotamian Blue cat. He lives high in a house on a hill. No-one in his family has ever set paw outside; not since their legendary ancestor - Jalal.
But when the sinister Gentleman and his two black cats come to the house, Varjak must seek help. Alone in a dark and dangerous city, he encounters a world of tough street cats, makes some unexpected allies and discovers in himself an ancient and magical martial art.
Thrilling, action-packed and often funny, Varjak Paw is a dazzling musical tale about growing up, discovering friendship and thinking for yourself.
Varjak Paw is based on the best-selling books by S F Said: Varjak Paw, winner of the Smarties Prize Gold Award (2003), and The Outlaw Varjak Paw, Blue Peter Book of the Year (2007).
