Arts Insight Theatre Company Presents Pipe Dream: A 1980s Jukebox Musical

Neon lights, nostalgic beats, and a legendary tune gone rogue. In this reimagining of The Pied Piper, five friends are forced to navigate a new world swept up in greed, corruption, and image. Set in a British town in the late 1980s, the children begin to notice something strange: their parents are different. Cue big hair, bigger shoulder pads, and ridiculously large mobile phones.

Once present and grounded, the adults are suddenly consumed by status, wealth, and success, drawn in by glowing television screens broadcasting the enigmatic Piper himself, who pulls the strings from afar. Eventually, the adults disappear entirely, led away by a tune too tempting to resist.  Now, with no one to guide them, the children are left alone to uncover the truth behind this mysterious modern Piper and try to save their parents from his hypnotic spell.

Our young company will be joined on stage by professional puppeteers in this high-energy jukebox musical adventure about friendship, courage, and finding your true voice in a world full of noise.
