Adelaide Fringe 2026
It WAS a rat I saw
This show is a personal political comment on ageing and human behaviour, where Jenn takes the p**s (mainly out of herself) in a deeply caring way. It is a bit of a rollercoaster, tight rope, wibbly-wobbly theatrical adventure from Manders-Madners. Written and choreographed and performed by Jenn Manders. It moves emotionally from the sublime to the ridiculous. Some of it is true.
