Maurice, an amazing cat, who has survived four years on the toughest streets in the whole of the Discworld, reckons that rats are dumb. Clever, OK, but dumb. Maurice, however, is smart -- smart enough to recognize that there's a new kind of rat around; rats that have been eating wizards' rubbish and can now talk. And Maurice is also smart enough to get a pretty amazing idea when he spots a kid playing the flute. Now he has his very own Pied Piper to go with his "plague of rats." And Maurice's money-bags are getting fuller and fuller. That is, until the group reaches the far flung village of Bad Blintz and they soon realise that this town is different. The rats spread out on their mission to dismantle traps, bury poison, do some serious widdling, and to find out exactly what those resident rat-catchers are up to. But something very bad is waiting for Maurice and the gang in the cellars... ​
Set in Terry Pratchett's widely popular Discworld ... when one of the world's most acclaimed fantasy writers turns a classic fairy tale on its head, no one will ever look at the Pied Piper—or rats—the same way again! 

​The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents won Terry Pratchett the Carnegie Medal, children's literature's highest award, in 2001.

At the AGM committee decided that this year we will be making a donation to the Alzheimer's Society, We also plan to have more bucket collections during our performances of The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents in aid of the charity as Terry Pratchett was a supporter of it's work.
