BIN RAT!!! a fun, feral, family comedy
Touring outdoors spring/summer 2026
A rat-astic and realistic look into refuse and recycling. Rummage through the rubble with Bin Rat and her friends to discover where all the junk goes! Scrape scraps off the streets and find out what literally happens to litter in this fun, feral, family show.
Bin Rat is an outdoor interactive theatre & puppetry show that explores our relationship with our waste and where it goes, and asks the question: is tidiness really the answer?
“Bin Rat was superb! The show was fantastic – high energy, colourful and engaging, well received by our family audiences. Highly recommended!”
Adam Laughton, Director of Frome Festival
Tour Dates for summer 2026 coming soon....
