Ballet. Great Britain 2016, 119 min. Director and Choreographer - Matthew Bourne. Set and Costumes - Lez Brotherston. Lighting Design - Rick Fisher. Music - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Conductor - David Lloyd Jones, The New London Orchestra. Starring: The Swan/Stranger - Richard Winsor, The Prince - Dominic North, The Queen - Nina Goldman, The Girlfriend - Madelaine Brennan, The Private Secretary - Steve Kirkham, The Young Prince - Joseph Vaughan. In English with Russian subtitles. When it premiered at Sadler’s Wells in 1995, Matthew Bourne’s triumphant re–interpretation of Swan Lake turned tradition upside down, taking the dance world by storm. Now you can watch this modern day classic for the first time in stunning digital 3D, accompanied by state of the art surround sound. An iconic production, perhaps best–known for replacing the traditional female corps de ballet with a menacing male ensemble, it was filmed in 3D at Sadler’s Wells, London in 2011. The stellar cast includes the magnificent Richard Winsor as the lead Swan/Stranger, Dominic North as The Prince and Nina Goldman as The Queen. Breathtaking in its drama and intensity, filming in 3D creates an illusion of space around the dancers, drawing you onto the stage and bringing a dramatic realism to the story. With more than 30 international theatre awards including threeTonys and an Olivier, Swan Lake has been acclaimed as a landmark achievement on the stage, becoming the longest running ballet in the West End and on Broadway.

Ballet. Great Britain 2016, 98 min. Director & Choreographer – Matthew Bourne. Set & Costume Design – Lez Brotherston. Lighting Designer – Chris Davey. Sound Designer – Paul Groothuis. Music – Terry Davies. Starring: Alan Vincent, Zizi Strallen, Kate Lyons, Dominic North, Christopher Trenfield. In English with Russian subtitles. A sensational new dance event for cinemas from the internationally acclaimed choreographer Matthew Bourne and his Dance Company New Adventures, The Car Man is loosely based on Bizet’s popular opera (Carmen) and has one of the most thrilling and instantly recognisable scores in classical music, brilliantly arranged by Terry Davies. The familiar 19th Century Spanish cigarette factory becomes a greasy garage-diner in 1960’s America where the dreams and passions of a small-town are shattered by the arrival of a handsome stranger. Fuelled by heat and desire, the inhabitants are driven into an unstoppable spiral of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge. Lez Brotherston’s epic design, Chris Davey’s evocative lighting and Matthew Bourne’s vivid storytelling take in a wealth of cinematic references, creating a powerful and uncompromising vision of small-town America.
