Rats on Cocaine Prefer Jazz

The peasants are rioting. The peasants are overthrowing their rulers.

But once on top, what will the dissenters do?

Will the cycle continue, or will everything finally change?

If you’re interested in happy endings, you’d be better off watching a different show.

Rats on Cocaine Prefer Jazz is a chilling dive into the ocean of the opulent and over-indulged. You’ll see our world but not quite as you know it – but its uncertainties, imbalances and injustices remain.

Informed by the epic theatre and cabaret of the 1930s, Rats on Cocaine Prefer Jazz explores how wealth and power affect our capacity for empathy.
