The Curious Rat tells the story of Lucien, a lonely city rat who watches the pigeons from his home under Waterloo Bridge and wishes he could join them in the sky. One day he spots the most amazing pigeon and takes his first brave steps to follow her into the lights of the big city… 

A poignant and poetic tale to inspire children and adults alike. Playfully combining puppetry and animated projection, this story encourages audiences to celebrate the things that make them unique.

“Lucien the little puppet rat, designed by Matt Hutchinson, who sets out on adventures in a big city is successfully vulnerable and endearing. Nothing to fear about this creature. “

“…it is fun and funny, with an astute sense of what children in their target age group will find hilarious.”
