A NIGHT OUT

23:27

Description

In a lavish suburban cottage where wealth and propriety rule every detail, a pampered Persian cat lives a life of immaculate comfort—lavender bows, fine china meals, and a perfectly tended garden. His world is one of quiet elegance, overseen by a Wall Street magnate who builds churches without ever attending them, and attended by a devoted French maid who tends his every need.

Everything changes when a scruffy, one‑eyed street cat named Ringtail Pete drops in, clutching a struggling bullfrog and muttering in a gritty dialect. The encounter rattles the Persian’s polished routine, sparking a curious mix of disdain, fascination, and the first hint of adventure beyond the garden wall. As the two felines size each other up, listeners are drawn into a witty clash of class, survival, and unexpected companionship that promises to upend the tidy order of their lives.

About the author

Edward Peple

Edward Peple

1869–1924

Best remembered for lively stage hits like The Prince Chap, The Littlest Rebel, and A Pair of Sixes, this American playwright had a knack for warm sentiment, quick comedy, and strong theatrical pacing. Before turning to writing full time, he worked for the railroad, a practical beginning that makes his later success in the theater all the more striking.
