Peaky Blinders is back in Manchester - this time with dance shoes

Manchester has been no stranger to welcoming the Peaky Blinders juggernaut over the years. The cast and crew of the hit BBC drama have regularly used the city's backstreets and waterways to double for 1920s and 30s Birmingham, while interest in the show has even spawned Manchester's own Peaky Blinders themed bar.

Now fans of the period drama can expect a rather different return of Peaky Blinders to Greater Manchester - this time as a dance show. Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby opens at The Lowry Theatre in Salford next week, running from March 14 to 18.

A worldwide audience of millions caught the first sneak peek of the production last year, when the dancers from the show performed memorably at the closing routine of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Now, audiences are getting to enjoy the full, exhilarating experience of the Shelby family saga reinterpreted on the stage through dance.
