Matthew Kidd's Bedroom
The play was subsequently re-staged as 'Catalpa', without the use of a sub-title.
In Massachusetts, 1875, Merchant Sea Captain George Anthony is pressed into rescuing Irish Fenian prisoners under the cover of a whaling expedition on the ship Catalpa. 120 years later, Matthew Kidd, demented, failed screenwriter is obsessed with his life's dream - making Catalpa, The Movie. In his bedroom, he rehearses his movie pitch, taking the audience on an epic adventure as he acts out every scene and plays every character.
