The Car Man by Matthew Bourne's New Adventures

Following our last two successful outings to see Matthew Bourne's innovative dance productions,  I am delighted to organise another trip to Sadler's Wells to see Matthew Bourne's award winning The Car Man.  

'Loosely based on Bizet’s ever-popular opera (Carmen),  The Car Man has one of the most thrilling and instantly recognisable scores in New Adventures’ repertoire.

The familiar 19th Century Spanish cigarette factory becomes a greasy 1950s garage-diner in the American Mid-West where the dreams and passions of a small-town are shattered by the arrival of a handsome and enigmatic stranger. Fuelled by heat and desire, the inhabitants are driven into an unstoppable spiral of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge.

Matthew Bourne’s vivid storytelling combines with one of the most passionately dramatic scores ever written, with music by Terry Davies featuring Rodion Shchedrin’s Carmen Suite (after Bizet’s Carmen), to create a dance thriller like no other.

The Car Man will ignite your senses and leave you breathless.'

Tickets from £15, to book, please click here.  At the moment, good availability for £15 seats, but I would advise book early as cheap seats are the first to go. 

Pre-show F&B will be posted near the time. 

To assist easy co-ordination on the day,  there will be a Whatsapp group setup for the event.  If you wish to join the group,  please email your mobile number and your name to swcsocialATgmailDOT.com.  Note: I will not respond to request for personalised email communications for this event.   

 Note: you need to set your Whatsapp privacy setting to give me the permission to add you to the group.  I had a couple of incidences that I was unable to add people to the group.  My invitation did not reach the recipient either.
