About Crime of the Century
“I shanked him. D’ya hear what I am saying? I shanked him”
Revisiting the build up to and repercussions of one fatal moment, Chickenshed’s explosive dance theatre company turns its attention to the proliferation of knife crime amongst young people.
Based on interviews with victims, perpetrators, families, surgeons, police officers and ex-offenders, Crime of the Century uses words, movement and projection alongside a contemporary score of hip-hop and dance music to pack a frightening punch.
