Matthew Bourne's Play Without Words
Opens: 12/07/2012 Closes: 05/08/2012
Sadler's Wells, London

As New Adventures celebrate their 25th year, Terry Davies' swing-infused score keeps their premiere production fresh. Flannel pyjamas have never looked so sexy.

The Stage“Authoritative and wholly convincing...” He manages to convey the complexity of a society whose old school surface is being broken through from underneath by upwardly mobile demi-monde characters like the sexual predator Prentice...
