Dr Adam Fergus, School of Languages & Cultures, has researched The Ratcatcher (1925) a major work by Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva, inspired by the October Revolution and the Pied Piper of Hamlin. In a collaboration with Charlie Barnes of Dead Earnest Theatre, the poem has been interpreted to create a powerful piece of live theatre with music, spoken word (including Russian), storytelling and visuals.
