Pippin

Weds 3rd – Sat 6th September, 2025
Putney Arts Theatre

With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwarz, Pippin follows a mysterious performance troupe, led by the Leading Player, to tell the story of Pippin, a young prince in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. 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 endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.
