Herding Cats (NHB Modern Plays)

A chillingly funny play that freeze-frames a generation negotiating intimacy and independence in the twenty-first century.
Meeting the demands of twenty-first-century life is as impossible as herding cats for Justine, Michael and Saddo.
Justine has an infuriating new boss, Michael chats to strangers for a living, Saddo is one of them. All three are living a comic fiction in an attempt to avoid the facts. And now Christmas is coming… ready or not.
'the polished black shards of humour and ripples of queasy horror make for a compelling cackle into the void' — Time Out 'Lucinda Coxon's brutal but icily funny three-hander is the dramatic equivalent of a triple shot of something bitter and delicious… fine theatre' — Evening Standard
'Unforgettable' — The Times
'A cool gaze on the disconnectedness of contemporary life which lets nobody off the hook… So brutal, you almost forget to breathe' — Guardian
