    Fun with giant rats and trapped humans, what's not to love? Mildred and Ernie are trained as rescue rats, but Mildred resists her training when she recognizes one of the humans as a research tormentor. Will Mildred believe Carro's self-serving apology? Will eager Ernie get to press the rescue button? The journey to these questions is most enjoyable and the resolution is ... well ... see for yourself.

    Actors will love working on this piece. Two African Giant Pouched Rats to the rescue (and they're wearing backpacks too), meet two humans caught in the rubble of a building. What could be more fun? The moral is, don't mistreat a lab rat because you never know when you'll need them. Fun and funny short play.

    A lot of fun... something out of 80's or 90's cartoon sensibilities and yet some good lessons about how to be a good human. Or a good rat? You know what I mean. This should be a lot of fun for performers and audiences of all ages to see staged.
