'Ratbags' by Jane Nielsen and Owen Gray

When a small town is over-run by street kids (....homeless youths) who better to deal with the problem than the army? Even if that army happens to be a unit of well trained riotous rodents! Successfully premiered by The Centenary Theatre Group in Brisbane, RATBAGS is a modern day Pied Piper of Hamelin - that rocks!
In this adaptation, the roles are reversed - the streets are cleaned up, the rats become heroes, and all the old fogies still boogie and rave, they do the chicken dance, the foxtrot, and even the mexican wave!
A delightful tale where street kids rule - guaranteed to please all ages and perfect for an ensemble cast.
