Criminally good dance bound for The Lowry

IT was a TV show that gripped, shocked and captivated a nation and now BAFTA award winning Peaky Blinders is coming to the stage, courtesy of its creator, Steven Knight.

Peaky Blinders - The Redemption of Thomas Shelby is coming to The Lowry from March 14-18 and it will be performed by the critically acclaimed dance company, Rambert.

Knight said he hopes the production will bring a new audience to dance and he added:

“Peaky Blinders has always had music and movement at its heart and now the beating heart of the show will be transferred to the stage.

“An interpretation of Tommy’s story, performed by Rambert, one of the leading dance companies in the world. This is for people who don’t usually watch dance and what I’ve written has been transformed into something startling by consumate dancers and choreographers.

“If the concept of Peaky Blinders as a dance seems strange, reserve judgement and reserve a ticket.”
