Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures The Car Man @ Saddlers Wells In Angel

Fasten your seat belts Matthew Bournes award-winningThe Car Manis back! Loosely based on Bizets ever-popular opera,The Car Manhas one of the most thrilling and instantly recognisable scores in New Adventures repertoire. The familiar 19thCentury Spanish cigarette factory becomes a greasy 1950s garage-diner in the American Mid-West where the dreams and passions of a small-town are shattered by the arrival of a handsome and enigmatic stranger. Fuelled by heat and desire, the inhabitants are driven into an unstoppable spiral of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge. Matthew Bournes vivid storytelling combines with one of the most passionately dramatic scores ever written, with music by Terry Davies featuring Rodion Shchedrins Carmen Suite (after Bizets Carmen), to create a dance thriller like no other. The Car Manwill ignite your senses and leave you breathless.
