Cats is literally about life and death.
Cats is about us.
"One of Eliot's great tricks with these poems, and one of the reasons they work so well as a theatre piece, is that they all sound like nursery rhymes, but they all deal in adult themes, like death, social class, community, ego, reputation, irony, fear, desire, sexuality, empathy, memory, death. These poems and these songs are wacky enough for kids, subtextual enough for adults..." - Scott Miller, Rescuing Cats
"You must remember what the greatest power in the theatre is. It has nothing to do with sets and special effects. It's what's going on in your minds, and how that affects the minds of the audience." - director Trevor Nunn, to the original Broadway cast
