PITSCHI, The Kitten with Dreams is at Salisbury Arts Centre on Saturday, March 14 at 11am and 1.30pm as part of a national tour of a new play for children aged two to six and their families.

The play tells the story of a young cat that doesn’t care for the rough and tumble and mischievous fun of kitten play, but instead dreams of being something else – a chicken, perhaps, or a goat, or a rabbit… for after all, anything is better than being a cat!

This original production uses a rich mix of story-telling, physical theatre, humour, music and song to tell the tale of the kitten that learns to be happy by being exactly what she is.

Based on Swiss author and illustrator Hans Fischer’s award-winning picture book, Pitschi published in 1948, Pitschi has delighted generations of children – and cat lovers – all around the world.

The play is performed by Anglo Swiss actor Natasha Granger.

Tickets are £7.50 or £6.50 concessions, or £24 for a family of four, from salisburyartscentre.co.uk or on 01722 321744.
