GOTHIC HORROR, "SHOCKHEADED PETER", RUMOURED FOR THE PICCADILLY THEATRE, FEB 01

A musical dramatisation of dark tales by Heinrich Hoffman, Shockheaded Peter, is to open at the Piccadilly Theatre in February next year, according to THE STAGE.

This children's gothic horror tale has enjoyed two limited runs at the Lyric Hammersmith theatre and a regional tour last year.

The show is adapted from Heinrich Hoffmann's 'Struwwelpeter', and has music by Martyn Jacques, and is directed by Julian Crouch and Phelim McDermott.

The show has been described as a junk opera with live animation and big hair!
