SUMMARY:The Cat and The MoonOne Act Play by W B YeatsDirected by Alison Armstrong
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday Sept 30\, 2025 at 7pm \nWestbeth Community Room\n155 Bank St\n(enter through courtyard)\nNew York\, NY 10014 \nWARC Literary Arts presents:\nThe Cat and the Moon by W.B. Yeats\nDirected by Alison Armstrong \nCast:\nTerence Burk: Blind Man\nDennis Fitzpatrick: Lame Man\nBeth Griffith: First Musician\nSusan Hyman: Second Musician\nAlison Armstrong: Third Musician\nSaint Colman: Himself \nMasks by Casey Compton & Ralph Lee\nFlute music: from Moore’s Irish Melodies \nNotes from Alison Armstrong\nImagine a country road in the West of Ireland. County Mayo perhaps. We observe a pair\nof elderly tramps\, the Blind Man who carries the Lame Man on his back for forty years. They\nhave wandered the country roads of the west of Ireland searching for Saint Colman’s Holy Well\,\nwhere they may be healed or blessed.\nWe hear a tension between the two old men who cannot live without one another and yet\ncannot live happily in their codependence. We realize that they evoke any number of\ncodependent pairings—married couples\, children and parents\, warring brothers such as Jacob\nand Esau\, Samuel Beckett’s Vladimir and Estragon\, or Hamm and Clov. Thus this simple story\nof comic irony appeals to the archetype that most of us experience in our own lives.\nYeats’s stagecraft was influenced not only by the classical Greeks but also in certain cases\nby the Japanese forms of Noh and Kyogen that combine the irony of inevitable absurdity and\nprofound suffering\, despair and hope\, rancor and forgiveness.
