Based on the true story of Forrest Tucker (played by Robert Redford in allegedly his last film role), who escaped San Quentin prison at the age of 70 and went right back to robbing banks. He’d spent most of his life going in and out of prison, but he just couldn’t stop doing what he loved. For him, it wasn’t about making a living – it was just about living, and his growing legend would confound the authorities and enchant the public.
Marius Petipa choreographed this sparkling ballet, based on Cervantes’s story of the bumbling knight Don Quixote, as a ballet as full of uplifting emotion as it is of astonishing ballet technique. Carlos Acosta chose this joyful classic for his first production for The Royal Ballet, his vibrant staging bringing together the whole Company in such roles as exuberant villagers, passionate gypsies and even fantasy flowers.

The Manfreds Date: Sat 25th May Time: 7.30pm Tickets: £24.50 The '60s group Manfred Mann is now considered, more than ever, one of the finest and most respected bands from that era. As a result, their records have a timeless quality and, some 55 years on, The Manfreds, with original front man, Paul Jones, will be performing many of their hits, including ‘Do Wah Diddy Diddy’, one of the most popular and instantly recognisable songs of the ‘60s, and still the biggest audience pleaser at their concerts.
