NEWS: Transatlantic Production of Herding Cats Announces On-Demand Extension

The production, which recently had a run at the Soho Theatre, will now be made available to watch on demand from the 7th to the 21st June.

OHenry Productions and Stellar, in association with Soho Theatre have announced that this unique transatlantic production of Lucinda Coxon’s play will be made available to stream on demand for a limited time in June.

Available from the 7th to the 21st June, Herding Cats examines a generation negotiating intimacy and independence in the 21st century.

To deal with work, Justine talks – a little too much – to her roommate Michael who earns a living by chatting with strangers like Saddo. But all three will soon find that in a cold, disconnected world, words may not be enough.

The production sees director Anthony Banks reunited with Coxon following their collaboration on the world première production, with this staging being a combination of hybrid of in-person and livestream theatre.

The cast for Herding Cats includes: Jassa Ahluwalia (Unforgotten, Peaky Blinders) as Michael, Greg Germann (Grey’s Anatomy, Friends From College and Ally McBeal) as Saddo, and Sophie Melville as Justine (Pops, Iphigenia in Splott).
