Part of the Suspense Puppetry Festival

Two pirate radio stations are anchored in the same murky coastal waters. One transmits from a lightship; its arch-rival broadcasts from a submarine lurking just beneath the oil-slicked surface. Something has to give…or be taken.

RUST is a fast-moving story of piracy, passion and vinyl. Grotesque puppets, animated sets and shiploads of absurd humour are welded into a dark comic-book vision of low-life on the high seas.

'There is always something wonderfully anarchic about Green Ginger's work...an inspired mix of art and lunacy.' GUARDIAN

'Dedicated to the memory of John Peel, the show sets the oppressive visions of industrialism and ideological fascism against the carnivalesque individualism of irreverent music, circus and love. The packed house roared its approval - largely merited in this inventive, well-written and satisfyingly bizarre show.' ANIMATIONS

'Quite simply the best thing that Green Ginger has done for years - in a word, riveting.' VENUE Magazine

'The puppets are amazingly expressive and the actors astonishing in their skills... recommended to all who want to see advanced puppetry for adults.' FÆDRELANDSVENNEN (Norway)

'Freakshow! RUST is anything but a beautiful puppet show…part-Sex Pistols, part-Monty Python with a touch of The Young Ones.' TELEMARKSAVISA (Norway)

'For those who like their pre-Christmas shows a little bit on the twisted, grotesque and quirky side, Green Ginger are about as good as it gets.' WESTERN MORNING NEWS (UK)

'A darkly comic and appropriately grotesque piece of theatre...inventive, off-the-wall, fascinating and absorbing. An enjoyably macabre show.' SWANSEA EVENING POST
