ENCORE BALLET: MATTHEW BOURNE’S SWAN LAKE (130 mins)
Thursday June 20, 8:15pm
This thrilling, audacious and witty production is perhaps still best known for replacing the female corps-de-ballet with a menacing male ensemble, which shattered convention, turned tradition upside down and took the dance world by storm. Retaining the iconic elements of the original staging loved by millions around the world, filmed live at Sadler’s Wells Theatre and starring Will Bozier, Liam Mower and Nicole Kabera.
NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE: SMALL ISLAND (170 mins)
Thursday June 27, 7:30pm, booking now
Andrea Levy’s Orange Prize-winning novel Small Island comes to life in an epic new theatre adaptation filmed live on stage as part of National Theatre Live’s 10th birthday. Small Island embarks on a journey from Jamaica to Britain, through the Second World War to 1948 – the year the HMT Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury. The play follows three intricately connected stories. Hortense yearns for a new life away from rural Jamaica, Gilbert dreams of becoming a lawyer, and Queenie longs to escape her Lincolnshire roots. Hope and humanity meet stubborn reality as the play traces the tangled history of Jamaica and the UK.
GLYNDEBOURNE LIVE 2019: CINDERELLA (210 mins)
Sunday June 30 at 5:30pm, booking now

ROYAL BALLET ENCORE: ROMEO AND JULIET (2019)
Monday July 1 at 7:15pm, booking now
Shakespeare’s enduring love story is known the world over. Since its 1965 premiere with The Royal Ballet, Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet has become a modern ballet classic. The choreography captures the emotions of the young couple as they fall in love, despite the barriers that finally bring about the story’s tragic end. Each revival gives opportunities for new dancers to interpret the doomed lovers. The whole company brings the colour and action of Renaissance Verona, where a busy market all too quickly bursts into sword fighting, and a family feud leads to tragedy for both the Montagues and Capulets. Starring Yasmine Naghdi as Juliet and Matthew Bourne as Romeo.

Wednesday, July 31, 7pm, booking from 2pm Friday May 24
When a young novice nun is compromised by a corrupt official, who offers to save her brother from execution in return for sex, she has no idea where to turn for help. When she threatens to expose him, he tells her that no one would believe her. Shakespeare wrote this play in the early 1600s, yet it remains astonishingly resonant today.
