The Rubbish Monster

What if the crisp packet you'd just thrown away came to life and begged you to take it home? This is just what happens to Katie Dumpster as she paddles her boat down the backwaters of the river, on what is clearly going to be a very strange summer's day.

As more litter floats downstream from the city and lands in mounting piles on the river-bank, a scavenging gull gets into a tangle, and the Watervoles watch helplessly as a mysterious robot arm carries off their Baby, trapped in a discarded wine-bottle.

Katie tries to help, but only adds to their problems, until Lord Pike, the Waterwolf, takes her under his fin. Together they hatch a plan to rescue Baby from the Rubbish Monster, but Lord Pike himself is being stalked by a very determined fisherman...

The story, told with puppets, live characters, music, songs, a great deal of humour, and audience participation, is an animals' eye-view of human beings and their wasteful ways.
