Just when Munkustrap has trapdoor!Macavity at excellent nose-kicking height…

… a kitten jumps on his back. Isn’t it always the way. Victoria, please be brave somewhere else.

Shiki production, Nagoya 20/7/2000. Kyoko Sato as Victoria, Shoichi Fukui as Munkustrap, and Macavity… I have no idea about the actor.

He’s presumably not the actual Macavity actor, since that’s a decoy and the real one will reappear at the back of the stage in a few seconds. My best guess, judging by which boys are visibly onstage during the Macavity fight (and which others are offstage but very unlikely to be Mac decoys, such as Misto) is that the two Mac decoys who pop up in front of and beside the stage are played by the actors of Skimble and Gus. I suppose there would be a pleasing symmetry if one of them was the Deut actor though! (And if it was Tugger that would just entertain me far too much.)

Munkustrap and Macavity woke up today and chose violence. 😌

The kitten who gets yeeted is Coricopat (equivalent to western Tumblebrutus).

Shiki production, Nagoya 20/7/2000. Shoichi Fukui as Munkustrap, ?Xu Yuanbo as Coricopat, ?Kenji Akase as Macavity, Emi Takakura as Tantomile (being dragged by Macavity in the first gif).

Macavity’s just going to knock Munkustrap flying, don’t mind him.

And Munk is going to jump up to stand aggressively on his back. Totally normal behaviour. (You know, some stunts, I just can’t imagine how you rehearse them safely.)

And just as Munkustrap thought he had Macavity more or less at kicking height… Victoria decided to use him to show Macavity that she can be big and scary too. Timing, woman!

Shiki production, Tokyo 1983.

Unless there are covers on: Shintaro Sonooka or Kenkichi Hamahata as Munkustrap, Yoshiaki Sugitani as Macavity, and Mamiko Yaesawa or Mami Nakai as Victoria.
