After a hit launch season in 2024, The Rug is back!

It’s early ice-age and when a brave hunter brings a sabre-tooth tiger rug back to his cave, he sparks off a rivalry with the neighbours who want a bigger, brighter rug.

Through this story, we witness the birth of materialism and ‘keeping up with the Joneses’. A salesman weaves his magic and a tiger lurks in the background longing for his mate and looking for revenge. It’s funny, poignant and sad and an exploration of our most basic human traits. Last chance to see The Rug before it heads out on tour!
