Free theatre tickets: The Tin Drum

On Oskar’s third birthday, he rails against the adult world and decides to remain a child forever. Armed with a heart full of rage, a singing voice that shatters glass, and a seemingly indestructible tin drum, Oskar sets about to reveal the world for what it truly is.

However, the world has other plans for our hero… The tide is turning. People are taking sides. And the shadow of the Black Witch draws ever closer. Hailed as one of the greatest novels ever written, Günter Grass’ surreal post-war masterpiece has never been more prescient.

South Leeds Life has free tickets for the Press Night on Tuesday 17 October 2017 at 7:30pm. If you would one or two tickets in return for writing, or helping to write a review, please email: info@southleedslife.com telling us why you would like the tickets. Age: 14+

Kneehigh will retell this extraordinary story of love, war and fizz powder as startling musical satire: part Baroque opera, part psychedelic white-out, part epic poem. A burlesque, a blitzkreig, a tidal wave about to break.

From the team that brought you the internationally acclaimed Dead Dog in a Suitcase (and other love songs), The Tin Drum is a folktale for troubled times: one political, profane and profound.

Prepare to dance to the beat of a different drum!

The Tin Drum runs at the West Yorkshire Playhouse from Tuesday 17 to Saturday 28 October.
