The Tin Drum

Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse reunites with Kneehigh for a new version of Gunter Grass’s masterpiece The Tin Drum.

It will run at the Hope Street venue from September 28 to October 14 before touring.

One of the defining novels of the 20th century, Grass’s folktale for troubled times is a dark, burlesque comic extravaganza, daringly provocative, political and profound.

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 an indestructible tin drum, he sets out to reveal the world for what it truly is.
