Cat Bird

A Scenographic Confession. When 'The Seagull & Other Birds' was rehearsing for its Chinese premiere, Pan Pan needed two identical stuffed cats. The prop-making company enquired about colour preference before catching and killing the felines. Pan Pan refused to accept these on ethical grounds and asked if the company could, alternatively, provide cats that were already dead. How did they die? We don’t know, but here they are.
