Sometimes they eat cheese
Sometimes they eat bread
They even eat the tiny crumbs that fall under the bed
They eat jelly
They eat egg!
They eat peas
And stinky old brie….

A rat will eat anything… anything… anything.

It's the eve of the mayoral election, and the kids of Hamelin aren't happy. The mayor and owner of the local pie factory has imposed a music ban, and to make matters worse, there's a serious rat problem. But, there have been whispers of a mysterious rat catcher in town… people listen to the powerful message created by his singing… his pipes... Can this curious stranger help Hamelin to find its voice once more?

Conrad Murray's Pied Piper is a raucous musical re-imagining of a medieval fairy-tale. The original production featured a hugely talented cast of beatboxers, musicians and special guest performances from the local community.

A Battersea Arts Centre, Beatbox Academy & rODIUM co-production conceived, written and co-directed by Conrad Murray, this edition was published to coincide with the start of the UK tour at Battersea Arts Centre, London, in October 2023.
