Opening night – 1926. Sister showgirls Amelia and Avi have practiced their dance steps, perfected their costumes and downed a celebratory glass of champagne. But two other sisters lurk below the floorboards, and they are ready to take back what is ratfully theirs. Sisters and lifelong collaborators, Amelia and Avi Gorman are thrilled to share their first full-length work with you. A comedy infused with puppetry, drama, and a little bit of showgirl magic, The Spectacular Vermin Sisters is a celebration of those who crave the limelight.

About The Gorman Sisters

The Spectacular Vermin Sisters: Taking Back What's Ratfully Ours is the first full-length work from The Gorman Sisters — Amelia and Avi — playing at Just The Wee One as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Set on opening night in the year 1926, two showgirl sisters have rehearsed their dance steps and donned their costumes, but two other sisters lurk below the floorboards with a claim to reclaim what is ratfully theirs. A comedy blending puppetry, drama and showgirl magic, the show is a celebration of those who crave the limelight. It runs for 50 minutes and is for audiences aged 16 and over.

Why see this show?

A debut full-length show with a delightfully odd premise — showgirls and rats competing for the limelight in the nineteen-twenties. The puppetry and sibling collaboration give it a charm that promises something genuinely fresh.
