Ratburger

A play by Maryam Master based on the bestselling novel by David Walliams.

From the creative mind of bestselling children’s author David Walliams (The World’s Worst Children, Gangsta Granny), don’t miss the screamingly funny Ratburger when it comes to life on stage, with visually stunning sets and charming puppetry!

Zoe lives with her dad and a stepmother who ignores her, the school bully makes her life a misery, and now, her pet hamster has died! When she befriends a loveable dancing rat named Dapper, things start looking up – but the evil Burt from Burt’s Burgers is cooking up an awful plan…

From the team behind the Australian tours of The 13-, 26-, 52-, 78- and 91-Storey Treehouses, Dog Man the Musical, and The Midnight Gang, don’t miss this hilarious, action-packed, and touching play about kindness, bravery, (and of course) burgers.
