RWD presents - a Rendezvous with Bastards! Our gang delve deeper into the secrets of this supposedly 'haunted' house. But what exactly is Biolife? And what mysterious answers do they hold? Hank is a troglodyte, Millicent plays dead, Lucky has a menty b and Harrison shuts the door on an opportunity.

This show features immersive sound design, its very own game system, Orbital Refuse- and a team of alien antiheroes that will choose each other over the universe every time. Tay and Dan are two of those aliens, and can be found anywhere that you find Backwater Bastards, or on twitter at @TAYvanbiljon and @deadtoothbrush.
