About Catspaw
Catspaw is a 1974 rock musical by Australian playwright Dorothy Hewett, with music by Terence Clarke, Piers Partridge and Roy Ritchie. It was Hewett's fifth full-length play and her first rock musical. It was written for the Festival of Perth before Hewett departed permanently for Sydney in early 1974. Catspaw is an expressionist or "epic" play with an episodic plot loosely based on a quest. It is the first of Hewett's plays that deals with the conservation of Australia, both as landscape and cultural heritage, where "imagination" is a universal cultural force opposed to the destruction caused by commercial interests.
