Ratburger is coming to life this May in a hilarious new play at the Mackay Entertainment & Convention Centre (MECC).
Ratburger follows the adventures of a young girl named Zoe, who lives in a rundown flat with her dad and a stepmother who ignore her. To add to that, the school bully is making her life a misery, and now, her pet hamster has died.
When Zoe befriends a lovable dancing rat named Dapper, things start looking up – but the evil Burt from Burt’s Burgers is cooking up an awful plan…and it’s up to Zoe to save the day.
A cast of 5 talented Australian performers bring this hilarious, action-packed and touching play to life, in a production featuring visually stunning sets, charming puppetry and intricate projection.
“Ratburger is a wonderful modern fairy tale", said producer Andrew Threlfall.
“It's a great comedy, but also a beautiful play about kindness, bravery and friendship... and burgers!”
The first performance will take place on Tuesday 6 May at 6pm, followed by two performances on Wednesday 7 May at 9:30am and 11.30am.
The 11.30am show is a relaxed performance, targeted to anyone who would benefit from a calmer environment. During this session, there is a relaxed attitude to noise, doors remain open and lights are dimmed to create a comfortable atmosphere for all attendees.
The performance is supported by Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal through the DBCT Kids’ Theatre Season which has allowed affordable ticket prices for families.
