PEAKY BLINDERS: THE REDEMPTION OF THOMAS SHELBY

Four individuals dressed in early 20th-century attire stand in front of a carousel, with one person exhaling smoke. The scene is set in a dark and misty environment.

Rambert’s thrilling stage adaptation capturing the Peaky Blinders story returns for final UK performances in Southampton, Birmingham and Norwich this Spring before a 14 performances run at London’s Sadler’s Wells 5 – 14th August.

Opening in the trenches of Flanders, a personal story unfolds in post-war industrial Birmingham as the Shelby family navigate the decisions that determine their fate. Meanwhile Tommy is intoxicated by mysterious newcomer, Grace. As Tommy builds his empire, Grace is operating as an undercover agent for Special Branch on a mission to get close to the heart of Tommys gang. As the story unfolds, hearts are broken, and revenge is sought. Key points of the story are illuminated by Narrator Benjamin Zephaniah (Jeremiah in the TV series).

Spectacular dramatisation and breath-taking dance is heightened by a live on-stage band performing specially commissioned music by Roman GianArthur and iconic Peaky tracks from Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Radiohead, Anna Calvi, The Last Shadow Puppets, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

Throughout Ramberts packed-out UK theatre tour, long-0me fans of the TV show and audiences coming to Peaky fresh, were united in their enthusiasm for this adaptation written by the seriescreator Steven Knight with direction and choreography by Ramberts Artistic Director Benoit Swan Pouffer.
