Description

This is the story of a young, mentally disturbed, murderous boy who has been given a cat as a psychiatric experiment. When the cat turns up dead, a young female psychiatrist and an elderly female priest try to get the boy to explain why he has killed the cat. However, according to the boy, he has not harmed the cat. Instead, the cat has died to rise again. “The Hour of the Lynx” is a play about how faith, affection, and love can break the limits of reason.
