Hard Rubbish

By Hamish Fletcher, Jared Lewis, Phillip McInnes, Ian Pidd, Tamara Rewse & Sam Routledge

12 September 2013 – 06 October 2013 Beckett Theatre

Malthouse Theatre, Men of Steel, Strut 'n' Fret Production House,

Devised Theatre Collaboration World Premiere

The furniture gets furious in this new show for the whole family from the award-winning Men of Steel. Soon to be replaced by Swedish flat-packs armed with allen keys, a pile of unloved old furniture learns it’s destined for the council tip. As the hour of their removal approaches, the hard rubbish comes out swinging against their Nordic counterparts. With wrestling armchairs and pirate toilets, this will be a battle for the ages!

 

"PUPPETRY AT ITS MOST INGENIOUS AND DISARMING ... FABULOUSLY IMAGINATIVE."
