Romeo and Juliet
For one night only, one of The Australian Ballet's most popular works springs to new life. Spartacus tells the story of a gladiator who led a slaves' rebellion against the Roman empire. Charting the journey of a man finding passionate love, his mission and freedom, the ballet showcases the company at their spirited and athletic best. Think ballet is all pointe shoes and tutus? Think again.
Join Vicki Michelle and the Hormonal Housewives in a hilarious, no-holds-barred romp through the joys of being a fabulous 21st Century woman. Weight gain, weight loss, mood swings, men, zumba, bikini waxes, online shopping, chocolate, wine, more chocolate, more wine, teenage tantrums, going out and staying in, are all mercilessly sliced and diced with vivacious abandon! A seriously funny evening – what these women can’t teach you about modern womanhood isn’t worth knowing!
Matthew Bourne’s Romeo and Juliet is a passionate and contemporary re-imagining of Shakespeare’s classic love story. Confined against their will by a society that seeks to divide, our two young lovers must follow their hearts as they risk everything to be together. Bursting with youth, vitality and Matthew Bourne‘s trademark storytelling, Leicester’s brightest young dance talent join the New Adventures company, with direction and choreography by Matthew Bourne, design by Lez Brotherston, lighting by Paule Constable, sound by Paul Groothuis and new orchestrations of the Prokofiev score by Terry Davies played live by the New Adventures Orchestra. Age recommendation 12+.
