Birinci Dünya Savaşı’ndan yeni çıkmış İngiltere’yi, yasadışı faaliyet gösteren çeşitli çeteler sarmıştır. Bunlardan biri de soygunculuk ve at yarışıyla para kazanan Peaky Blinders’dır. Polislere rüşvet yedirerek paçayı kurtaran çete, bir soygunda yanlışlık yapınca başlarına bela olacak yeni bir müfettişin şehre gelmesine vesile olurlar.

Exploring the mass gang movement that originated in Birmingham and other industrial cities in the 19th century and evolved into modern gangsterism in the early 20th.

Peaky Blinders writer and creator Steven Knight and choreographer Benoit Swan Pouffer of the celebrated Rambert Dance Company discuss the collaboration that resulted in one of the most unexpected and tantalising stage productions of recent years: Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby.

With a mesmerising performance in the lead role by Guillaume Queau, this dance extravaganza doesn’t shy away from the shocking violence of the drama that has won fans across the world, telling the story of Thomas during World War I, before he transformed himself into the notorious crime boss of the TV series.

Steven and Benoit share their insights into the making of the show, the challenges they faced along the way, and how this unlikely idea became a remarkable reality.

Rambert’s thrilling stage adaptation The Redemption of Thomas Shelby, written by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, with direction and choreography by Rambert’s artistic director Benoit Swan Pouffer.

Opening in the trenches of Flanders, a personal story unfolds in postwar industrial Birmingham as the Shelby family navigate the decisions that determine their fate, and Tommy is intoxicated by mysterious newcomer Grace. While Tommy is building his empire, Grace is operating as an undercover agent for Special Branch on a mission to get close to the heart of Tommy’s gang. As the story unfolds, hearts are broken, and revenge is sought.

A live onstage band accompanies the drama with 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.
