The Car Man breaks

Matthew Bourne’s award-winning?The Car Man?is back! Loosely based on Bizet’s ever-popular opera,?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.

This production is recommended for ages 12+.
