In August 2011, Let Slip presented its debut show Hamster Town at the
Camden People’s Theatre, London, as part of the Camden Fringe Festival.

Darren is divorced and father to children who barely recognise him. But when he spots a hamster in a pet shop window, he feels a spark he’s missed for months.
As life with his new friend becomes euphoric, they escape together to a place more imaginary than real.
