More Information

Sickness, family, love and noise. Punk Rock and concrete. A play with music, Brother Rat explores the triumphs and pitfalls of our mental wellness system through the lens of the band Theresa Give Me That Knife as they play a show in downtown Edmonton.

Robby, Slayde, and Dianne play their instruments live in a ferocious bid to choose life ahead of grim survival and escape the tangled web of pipe and cable that has led them in and out of public housing.

Adapted from the song Brother Rat / What Slayde Says by Canadian punk band NoMeansNo.
