Here to see a Kneehigh production.
I personally have been looking forward to seeing this as I have seen other performances by them and all have been very good.
Synopsis:
What the HELL is the world coming to?
The ever-inventive Kneehigh return to Bristol with their blazing new show. Fasten your seat belts; it's going to be one hell of a night!
Mayor Goodman has been assassinated. Contract killer Macheath has just married Pretty Polly Peachum and Mr and Mrs Peachum aren't happy. Not one bit.
Based on The Beggar's Opera, John Gay's classic musical satire, Dead Dog in a Suitcase (and other love songs) is busting with wit, wonder and weirdness.
An extraordinary Kneehigh cast of actor musicians shoot, hoot and shimmy their way through this twisted morality tale of our times that is by turns shocking, hilarious, heartfelt and absurd!
The gorgeous and powerful live score combines trip-hop and folk, Renaissance polyphony and psychedelia, ska, grime and dubstep, echoing Gay's original by plundering the sounds of our times.
Please note this show contains loud bangs, smoke, strong language and dodgy delights amidst corporate conspiracy, hit men, and songs culled from the edge of existence. And yes, we will be putting a dead dog in a suitcase... don't say we didn't warn you!<br /><br />
