Shockheaded Peter

An instant classic in its own right, the stage production of SHOCKHEADED PETER won rave reviews around the world as one of the most original collaborations of its kind.

SHOCKHEADED PETER was the collective nightmare of the visionary direction and design team of Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch (co-founders of London's Improbable Theatre) and the underworld's favorite cabaret act, The Tiger Lillies, led by the bizarre and beautiful falsetto of Martyn Jacques.

Created and devised by Julian Bleach, Anthony Cairns, Julian Crouch, Graeme Gilmour, Tamzin Griffin, Jo Pocock, Phelim McDermott, Michael Morris and The Tiger Lillies (Martyn Jacques, Adrian Huge and Adrian Stout

My mother took me to see this when I was about 10 and I used to bite my nails, my mother was constantly telling me off for it... After seeing this show and the "snip snip" part of it, I never bit my nails EVER again!! Would love to take my kids to see it one day, I hope it returns to the west end soon.

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London have a film recording of the performance, but due to legal reasons cannot distribute it.

But at least it means there is hope of seeing it on the screen in the future.

Me and my drama group, went to the V&A museum to see this! I have to say it was very disturbing, but I enjoyed how they put it together, although we watched a video of it so there was an audience in the video, they were like 10-13 and they kept laughing at the most inappropriate times! it was soo annoying!

I would love to see this back on the London stage. It's a piece of theatre magic.
