At Black Rat

Black Rat Productions- Up and Under , Blackwood Miner's Institute , October 7, 2011
At Black Rat by Black Rat Productions- Up and Under There was a very warm welcome in the Blackwood hillside as the Miner’s Institute threw open its doors for the premiere of John Godber’s, Up ‘n’ Under: the Welsh Tour.

Following the success of the much acclaimed, Bouncers, and, once again under the imaginative directorship of Richard Tunley, Black Rat Productions have come up with another winner.

Minimally, yet extremely effectively staged, the play has been re-written to tell the tale of the worst rugby-sevens team in the local league having to take on the best side as the result of an outrageous bet.

A talented cast of six bring all the, pathos, humour and pride of the situation to the fore, and in true rugby fashion, the audience are firmly behind the unlikely underdogs from the off.

There are outstanding performances from some cleverly drawn characters.
