Shockheaded Peter
March 1, 2019
Shockheaded Peter is a "nasty picture book" of a musical, loosely based on German children’s book, Struwelpeter, written by Heinrick Hoffmann. The macabre and sinister production uses musical versions of the book’s poems to spin stories of naughty children and misguided parents. The show is set is a distorted Victorian toy theater and evokes a lost world of theatrical illusions including a music box spinning out of control and an advent calendar with a horrifying surprise behind every door.
