Pied Piper at The Barbican - 5th March - 14th March 2009

After a sell-out season here at Theatre Royal the Olivier Award-Winning Pied Piper transfers to the Barbican Theatre for 11 perfromances only from the 5th March 2009.

Pushing street dance to its limits, Pied Piper is a bold, contemporary, hip-hop performance inspired by Robert Browning's poem The Pied Piper of Hamelin. It is an innovative, original and thrilling fusion of dance and narrative, taking an edgy look at morality.

 In an unnamed modern urban setting, the rats in the original poem become youths in black hoodies and are branded ‘ASBOs', and Clown Governors rule the city. Pied Piper is a satirical performance exploring the recurring tabloid headlines, ‘Who will rid our streets of this vermin?'
