Dead Dog In A Suitcase (And Other Love Songs) Tickets

Dead Dog In A Suitcase (And Other Love Songs) is a cross-genre musical theatre piece born from Kneehigh Theatre’s inventive Beggar’s Opera adaptation. Written by Carl Grose with an original score by Charles Hazlewood, this show blends ska, trip-hop, rock and puppetry with live actor-musicians to tell intimate, often darkly comic stories of love. The project was developed through Kneehigh’s distinctive collaboration style and toured extensively in the UK and beyond from 2014 through 2019, including a notable 2019 run at the Lyric Hammersmith in London.
