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.
Green Ginger has enjoyed sell-out successes with RUST in Paris, Madrid, Brussels, Stockholm, Amsterdam and Lisbon. The Bristol-based company is finally bringing its brand of lunatic fringe theatre to London for a three week residency at the Pleasance Islington.
Green Ginger is an award-winning UK export, currently celebrating three decades of touring throughout the world in thirteen languages. The company has its roots in street performance and its indoor performances are informed by a wealth of experience from Palestinian refugee camps and New York City streets to the township yards of Soweto and remote fishing communities in the Arctic Circle.
There is always something wonderfully anarchic about Green Ginger's work...an inspired mix of art and lunacy. The Guardian
"deliciously deranged" The Metro ****
NOTE: As well as performing during SUSPENSE you have the chance to see RUST from Thurs 29 Oct to Sun 15 Nov during their extended run at Pleasance Theatre. So there's no excuse to miss this show!For a preview of the show click here: RUST PREVIEW
