Based on a 1959 novel by Gunter Grass and 1979 Academy Award-winning foreign language film of the same name, Kneehigh’s The Tin Drum is nothing short of immensely impressive.

The Tin Drum follows Oskar, the rather obnoxious offspring of a greengrocer in the WWII era who, repelled by his predetermined fate to wind up a greengrocer like his alleged father, resolves never to grow old. He prefers to remain in his perpetual infancy, thinking himself to be superior to the adults around him.
