Set in Bangalore of 1900, this adaption of The Plague was played by nine actors, each with two or three roles and all doubling up as rats. The different roles gave the actors less than 30 seconds for costume changes on and off stage. The challenge for the costume was with addressing the instant transition between period role and rat!
