The Extraordinary Life of a Rat Racer at The Bridge House Theatre

Ever wondered what the person next to you is thinking?

Pulled earrings. Slit wrists. Chopped veins. T-rex arms.
Eva is just a regular rat racer. Single mother to a 6-year-old boy, she is stuck in a world that keeps punching her down, and is desperately trying to play the game – pay the bills, get him to football, survive her mum’s barbed comments.

But her mind has different plans. On the way to an important job interview, Eva gets bombarded by a series of ever-worsening intrusive thoughts.

So prepare for the uncomfortable and dive into Eva’s mind. Guided by Arthur, a grotesque, sadistic, half-real figure, this two-hander surreal dark comedy will bring you on a journey that will shift your concept of normality.
