Synopsis

Sometimes when I can't stand on my own two feet Or the voices in my head feel cracked and incomplete I turn up the volume of my Broken Beats The Big Heavy Bass sends moves flowing to my feet Melodic rhymes fill my head and make me feel oh-so-sweet Cos my Broken Beats help me feel alive And not so Broke and Beat. The Broke `n' Beat Collective is a unique mash up of hip-hop, theatre and puppetry which brings together four amazing artists: beat-boxer Hobbit, b-boy LoGisTics , singer/rapper Elektric and puppeteer Mohsen to form The Broke `n' Beat Collective. Written by Keith Saha, a playwright and the co-artistic director of 20 Stories High, and Sue Buckmaster, the Artistic Director of Theatre-Rites, The Broke `n' Beat Collective is a unique theatrical experience filled with gripping tales, transfixing poetry and hip-hop puppetry. Funny and moving, it is a raw and moving play that explores the hardships faced by young people in the UK today. This edition was published to coincide with a national tour of the play which opened in February 2016 in a coproduction between 20 Stories High and Theatre Rites.
