One of the defining novels of the 20th Century, Günter Grass’ dazzling tour de force, The Tin Drum will be brought to thrilling theatrical life by Kneehigh in a touring co-production with Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse and West Yorkshire Playhouse. It will open to press at Liverpool Everyman and then transfer to West Yorkshire Playhouse before travelling to Bristol, Cornwall and finishing in London’s Shoreditch Town Hall.

On Oskar’s third birthday he rails against the adult world and decides to remain a child forever. Armed with a heart full of rage, a singing voice that shatters glass, and a seemingly indestructible tin drum, Oskar sets about to reveal the world for what it truly is. However, the world has other plans for our hero…

A folktale for troubled times: The Tin Drum is a dark, burlesque comic extravaganza, which is at once daringly provocative, political and profound.
