A BUNCH OF RATBAGS
A funny, abrasive and confronting look at the teenage Bodgie and Widgie gangs of the late 50s in inner city Melbourne. With its themes of social belonging and acceptance, and the struggle of a generation of youth to find its place in society, the show is as relevant today as it was in 1966 when it first opened at the late lamented Emerald Hill Theatre. Written by Australia's most prolific music duo, Peter Pinne and Don Battye, it features an eclectic score, that mixes rock 'n' roll, music-hall and big ballads, to exuberant life.
