In The Midnight Bell, Sir Matthew Bourne has produced some of his best choreography, loose and free-flowing but tense with desire and mixed with dread.

Bourne's Edward Scissorhands may not have quite the dramatic impact of his Romeo and Juliet or Swan Lake, but there is much to applaud and enjoy.

Bourne's radical reworking of Swan Lake returns to Sadler's Wells, 23 years after its premiere. 

Matthew Bourne offers a cleverly structured blockbuster that looks and sounds ravishing.

Matthew Bourne's exhilarating, witty reimagining of the Russian classic Sleeping Beauty returns to London. Ashley Shaw makes a radiant Aurora.

You know it’s going to be different the moment the recorded music begins and words appear on the frontispiece setting the story. Among the recognised musical strains can be heard the cry of a baby, and it is this baby who revolutionises Matthew Bourne’s new vision of the iconic Russian classical ballet masterpiece Sleeping Beauty.
