Crime of the Century

Chickenshed's explosive dance theatre company have turned their attention to the problem of knife crime by young people.

Portraying a stark journey about the build up and repercussion of one fatal moment, 'Crime of the Century' uses words, movement and projection, alongside a contemporary score of hip hop and dance music, to pack a frightening punch.

Following three separate tragic deaths of teenagers associated with the company, Chickenshed embarked on producing a piece of theatre that could be used as a positive tool in the fight against knife crime.

Based on interviews with victims, perpetrators, families, surgeons, police officers and ex-offenders.
