Peaky Blinders: How We Made Them Dance

Peaky Blinders creator, Steven Knight, and Rambert Dance Company's artistic director, Benoit Swan Pouffer, talk about Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby.

Peaky Blinders writer and creator Steven Knight and choreographer Benoit Swan Pouffer of the celebrated Rambert Dance Company discuss the collaboration that resulted in one of the most unexpected and tantalising stage productions of recent years: Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby.

With a mesmerising performance in the lead role by Guillaume Queau, this dance extravaganza doesn’t shy away from the shocking violence of the drama that has won fans across the world, telling the story of Thomas during World War I, before he transformed himself into the notorious crime boss of the TV series.

Steven and Benoit share their insights into the making of the show, the challenges they faced along the way, and how this unlikely idea became a remarkable reality.
