“Tender Is the Cat ” is a bizarre portrait for lonely hearts of urban women, inspired by Yoko Sano’s work with the same title. A wish made by a thirty-something woman makes her cat transform to a man. Though her dream comes true, she is not overjoyed: there’re a bunch of issues she has to deal with, such as her relationships, both now and the past…. Between fantasy and realistic, this play portraits sex, desire and marriage in contemporary urban society.
