KING OF THIEVES The story of an unlikely gang of retirees that pulled off the daring Hatton Garden jewellery heist of 2015. The multi-million-pound robbery was initially believed to be undertaken by a gang of super-thieves, but the actual perpetrators were a group of tough-guy retired criminals in their late 60s and 70s who were unoccupied and bored. They consulted a bunch of how-to books and figured out a way to pull off one last hurrah over a long weekend in April 2015.

LA BAYADERE

Marius Petipa’s fantasy, set in legendary India, tells the tale of a temple dancer and the prince who loves her but marries another. The famous, moonlit ‘white act’ – The Kingdom of the Shades – is a corps de ballet highlight, as multiple images of the prince’s lost love haunt his mind. The choreography allows two opposing ballerinas to shine, while a bronze idol comes vividly to life in a stunning solo.

TEEN TITANS GO! TO THE MOVIES It seems that all the major superheroes out there are starring in their own movies - everyone but the Teen Titans. Robin is determined to remedy that situation by becoming a star instead of a sidekick. With a few madcap ideas and a song in their hearts, the Teen Titans head to Hollywood to fulfill their dreams. Things soon go awry, however, when a supervillain plans to take over the planet -- putting the very fate of the young heroes on the line.
