Straight off the cover of the Weekly World News, Bat Boy: The Musical is a comedy/horror musical about half-boy, half-bat Edgar, who is found in a cave near Hope Falls, USA. After he's brought to town, the outsider is ridiculed and ostracised from the society he's trying hard to be a part of. With a beat-driven rock score that pays homage to late 60s and early 70s rock musicals, Bat Boy provides a compelling theatrical metaphor for the dangers of prejudice and provincialism, shedding light on an American region that voted overwhelmingly for Trump.
