“Two
different creatures - who’ve never listened to teachers
-
end up side-by-side and in jail”
Can we choose
who we fall in love with? Is it written in the stars? Is it
a cruel joke that the Gods made up one day when it was
raining?

Jezebel, is a pissed of pussy-cat with a death
wish for the human race. She is caught by authorities
‘cleaning up our world’ taking-out one human at a time
and hurled into captivity under the charges of crimes
against humanity. On her first night she meets a
stranger’s voice through a hole in the wall; Rob-Roy. He
serves his time for ‘accidental’ murder - crimes of
‘passion’ - he has killed and will kill again. But in
his heart of hearts he is a good Mutt. He is glad to have
someone to sing to. She is glad to have someone to plan
with.
Told through the eyes of a Cat and a Dog A Love
Tail pokes holes in what we humans call ‘Love’ but it is
probably just animal instinct.
‘A Love Tail’ is an old, familiar story of two lovers that can never be. One is a feline the other a hound, they fall into an unfortunate love…’
Spotted with peculiar rhymes and new music A Love Tail is sure to delight and intrigue even the most cynical of souls.
