Northern Ballet has a reputation for pioneering contemporary, narrative ballet, but this may be its most challenging subject to date. The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas has been a book and later a film, both of which have seen their fair share of controversy.

When Shmuel's father goes missing inside the camp Bruno slips into the camp to help find him, with inevitably tragic results.
