Nearby Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake

Matthew Bourne's hugely successful Swan Lake comes home for Christmas. This highly original all-male production premiered at Sadler's Wells 14 years ago and became the longest running ballet in the West End, before playing on Broadway and touring the world. The all-male cast and menacing sets turn the sweet fairy story into a passionate, high-energy affair. Innovative and exciting, provocative and powerful, this multi award-winning production audaciously transforms one of ballet's best-loved stories into a startlingly contemporary tale. Running throughout the festive period, Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake is a welcome addition to the capital's collection of Christmas treats.About Sadler's Wells Theatre
