  • Nominated for Off West End Awards for Best New Play, Best Male Performance and Best Female Performance.

    2014 JMK Award winner Kate Hewitt directs an Olivier Award-winning cast.

    “Oh, she’s dangerous. But not because of her genes. Because of you.”

    In the not-too-distant future, the world is better than ever. Diseases and disorders have been wiped out. But Jess doesn’t belong. She slipped through the net and there’s something dangerous in her DNA, something that must be ‘cured’.

    Charlie is watching Jess. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep society safe.

    As debate over genetic screening rages, Tomcat’s urgent vision questions the lengths to which we will go to keep humanity healthy.

    When you can learn everything about a person on a computer screen, does that mean there’s nothing left to discover?

    The winner of the seventh Papatango New Writing Prize, Tomcat was chosen from more than 600 entries.
