Shooting Rats by Peter Turrini, in a version by Rachel Briscoe
A girl and a boy go on a date. She wants to go to a posh restaurant but he takes her to a rubbish dump.
Surrounded by broken fridges and old car parts, the pair make surprising discoveries about each other. Things are getting interesting, this might be fun after all: a Friday night together to forget the week from hell.
But Evie and Ads know they don't have long before they have to go home, where it feels like their lives have been mapped out before they've even had the chance to live them. To challenge this would be hopeless… but tonight anything seems possible.
Shooting Rats was presented in 2009 in a pop-up location in South London.
