| "A
Rat's Tale" is the sequel to "Rats!", although it stands independently
as a play. The rat family, having escaped the horrors of the school
science laboratory, have landed in a rat utopia called "Freedom". But
"Freedom" is not what it used to be. Freedom is living through
troublesome times - teenage gangs and lawlessness reign,
while a plot is hatched by the villianous Dirty Rat to take over the
place. A play within a play, join our hero Sonny Rat and his family of
actor rats as they perform their cautionary tale of the Troubles and
the destruction of
Freedom. "A Rat's Tale", like its predecessor, is very high energy, physical, knockabout comedy and good fun for audience and actors alike. It can be performed professionally by actors in a theatre or by students in a school situation. |
