Ratburger comes to Bewdley!
After the phenomenal success of their adaptation of Mr Stink,
Heartbreak Productions are back with the theatrical premiere
of Ratburger by David Walliams, adapted for the outdoor stage.
Voted the top children’s
book of the year in 2012, we
follow Zoe as she battles
through a life littered with
pitfalls and grizzly individuals.
Never giving up on her dream
of travelling the world, and
inspired by her love of
animals, Zoe is determined to
save her pet rat and escape
her home in a leaning tower
block.
Join Heartbreak Productions as they perform a modern thriller
that promises to deliver a blend of dark reality and empowering
comedy for the modern child.
Recommended for 7+ (parents/guardians may bring younger
children at their own discretion)
Bewdley Museum. Sun 5th June 4pm. £8 or £30 a family ticket

Visual Audio
Music and visuals came together on 8th April for Surprise
Attacks no#42, (see review page 33) with homegrown musical
genius Ben Powers’ project Blanck Mass along with the super
creative stimulations of both Ferric Lux and Rosebud. We were
submerged into dark soundscapes to revive our aural and visual
senses, with music and imagery tumbling together as one, giving
us a rare (but hopefully not singular) night of cutting edge arts in
Worcester.
