Rat Trap

Writer Wesley Burrowes, creator of The Riordans, Bracken and Glenroe, reveals a surreal sense of humour in his witty screenplay for the feature film, Rat, which was warmly received on its world premiere at Galway Film Fleadh in July. Directed by Steve Barron, Rat follows the comic consequences when a Dublin delivery man played by Pete Postlethwaite is turned into a rat, to the consternation of his wife (Imelda Staunton) and family. The cast also includes Frank Kelly, David Wilmot and Peter Caffrey, and the music is by Bob Geldof.
