⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival has thrown up a lot of brilliant one-woman shows. Cindy D’Andrea’s Cat Sh!t Crazy is one of the finest.
At an expensive retreat in Costa Rica, where Cindy has gone to ‘find herself’, she looks back on her life and how she got to where she is today with the help of Tabitha, Samantha, Spencer and Tallulah – her four cats.
Cindy becomes her trainer, her friends, each of her cats with their distinct personalities in this engaging, amusing and at times heart-breaking confession. We learn how she came to adopt each of her four adored cats, how she trapped, rescued, fostered and rehomed many more homeless cats before settling down as a four-cat household. Anyone who has lived with one or more cats will identify with this story. Many people, your reviewer included, have given forever homes to rescued cats. Cat Sh!t Crazy is definitely a must-see for the cat-lovers in your life. They’ll recognise themselves in Cindy’s reactions to her cats. They’ll laugh. They’ll cry. They’ll engage fully with Cindy’s Story. What actor could ask for anything more from her audience?
