After the popular ‘Mr Stink’, Heatbreak Productions are back with their latest production. Ratburger! Poor Zoe; her hamster has died and her lazy stepmother, Sheila, doesn’t care. In fact, she is so lazy she wants Zoe to pick her nose for her - ewwww! Voted the top children’s book of the year in 2012, David Walliams’ ‘Ratburger’ encourages us to support Zoe as she battles through a life littered with perils, pitfalls and grizzly individuals. Following on from the successful 2015 adaptation of Mr Stink, (which David Walliams described as ‘Magnificent!’), Heartbreak Productions returns this summer with the theatrical premiere of ‘Ratburger’, adapted for the outdoor stage. Come and join the Grand Opening Party of ‘Armitage’s Ices’, the ice-cream parlour set up by Zoe and her Dad and follow 12-year-old Zoe’s journey as she takes on the revolting characters that have proved to be one of the hallmarks of David Walliams’ appeal. Our heroine has a profound love of animals and a dream of travelling the world that keep her going as she copes with her disgusting neighbours, her recently unemployed dad and the menacing Burt (of Burt’s Burgers) who is after Zoe and her pet rat! Join Heartbreak Productions for this thriller that blends dark reality and irreverent comedy for to today’s children.
