Dead Dog In A Suitcase (And Other Love Songs)

A radical new reworking of the Beggar's Opera.

Written by Carl Grose, with a brand new score of live music written by Charles Hazelwood, and directed by Joint Artistic Director Mike Shepherd, Dead Dog In A Suitcase (And Other Love Songs) is a twisted morality tale for our times busting with wit, wonder and weirdness, delivered in the way only Kneehigh know how.

The original Beggar's Opera was written in 1728 by John Gay and was adapted by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill in 1928 as The Threepenny Opera. Like its predecessors, Kneehigh's new version is a musical satire that holds a mirror to contemporary society - confronting big business, corrupt institutions, and urban myths.

Tickets go on general sale on Thursday 28th November at 10am.
