Until March 19

If you’ve ever wanted to be down in the dumps – rubbish ones that is – this wacky trio of Brisbane-based Binvestigators will drop you off in a heartbeat.

Samantha LeClaire, Jennifer Laycock and Nicolas Angelosanto are professionally trained nonsense makers and their experience working with young children is apparent as they go to no limit of silliness to entertain.

Rapid costume and character changes are all part of the colourful presentation and high-energy plot engagements with Rhonda Recycling, Christina Compostina and Ruby Rubbish.

Laycock, also appearing solo in Plastica Fantastica for adults this Fringe, is particularly irrepressible as Charlie, Adelaide’s best scooter rider, and didn’t miss a beat even when her bum fell out playing a law-breaking, non-recycling granny.

Presented by Art for Earthlings, an interactive theatre collective focused on environmental issues, the show is a first-step education for kids around which of three bins – general waste, recycling and compost – you should place your everyday rubbish.

So, become your best bin self and enjoy yourself all at the same time.
