Matthew Bourne's The Car Man - BIRMINGHAM HIPPODROME

A dance thriller like no other. Matthew Bourne's award-winning production takes inspiration from Bizet's Carmen and relocates the story from 19th-century Spain to a gritty 1950s garage-diner in the American Midwest. The arrival of a mysterious stranger ignites a volatile mixture of desire, greed, betrayal and revenge, sending the inhabitants of the small town into an unstoppable spiral. With Matthew Bourne's trademark storytelling, dramatic choreography and a powerful score by Terry Davies incorporating Rodion Shchedrin's Carmen Suite, this promises an intense and visually striking night at the theatre. Age guidance: 15+.
