I Was A Rat!

Philip Pullman’s glorious and gripping story is brought to life on stage for the first time in the UK. Combining humour, fantasy, and adventure this moving and darkly comic tale slowly reveals its connection to one of the most famous fairy tales of all time.

“I Was A Rat!” insists a scruffy page boy who turns up one evening on the doorstep of old married couple Bob and Joan. But what is he now? A terrifying monster rampaging in the sewers? A money-spinning fairground freak? Or just an ordinary boy, though a little ratty in his habits?

Full of music, fantastic physical performances and unforgettable images I Was A Rat! will surprise, delight and move audiences of all ages, especially those age 7 and over.

The performance on 2nd March is British Sign Language Interpreted
