Pippin
MUSOC Presents Pippin!
8th - 16th March 2024
Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfilment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father, King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavours, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.
With only eight shows from the 8th to the 16th of March, don't miss the chance to see a show that is equally poignant as a black box production or as a splashy, spectacle-driven extravaganza. Pippin's message is universal and will connect with audiences across the age spectrum.
