Marius von Mayenburg's Plastic does it with wit, ingenuity…and a mud-slinging machine (no, that's not a metaphor).  

Production images have today been released for Marius von Mayenburg's Plastic which will run at Theatre Royal Bath's Ustinov Studio until Saturday 25 March, and BroadwayWorld brings them to you below!
