Here are the ensemble hobbits, Lobelia Sackville-Baggins/Bridget Lappin, Otho Sackville-Baggins/Reece Causton, Mrs. Bracegirdle/Kelly Coughlin, and other hobbits I didn't catch the names of, Zara Naeem and Elliot Mackenzie

Heyo Richard Rankin!! Also colloquially known as Rik -- which suits him as he’s something of a funnyman and jokester on set. Now that I know how much comedy he has under his belt, IT MAKES SENSE!! It’s his wheelhouse. I knew Rik had done Crimson Field preOutlander and I’d spotted him in The Last Kingdom as I was watching it, but the rest were new to me! Enjoy the list!

Review: In Matthew Bourne’s ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ a Story of Even More Woe

LONDON — A bright red curtain flutters down. Prokofiev’s ominous chords thunder. The blood-drenched lovers lie entwined on a tombstone. Matthew Bourne shows us the end of the story at the beginning of his powerful, dark “Romeo and Juliet,” which opened at Sadler’s Wells here on Friday. And it’s not a pretty sight.

This “Romeo and Juliet” — the latest in Mr. Bourne’s genre-bridging adaptations of classics like “Swan Lake,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “Car Man” and “The Red Shoes” — doesn’t offer the consolations of sumptuous Renaissance period costuming and décor, the ribald whores and riotous crowds so familiar to dance audiences from ballet versions of the Shakespeare tragedy. Instead, he sets the story in the white-tiled, stark environs of the Verona Institute, populated by teenagers who are strictly policed by guards and medics.

Mr. Bourne brilliantly evokes a world in which the young inmates are patrolled and controlled through medication and punishment, their rigidly synchronized movement underlining their lack of freedom. Lez Brotherston’s simple set emphasizes their incarceration further: a white semicircle with three doors, framed by staircases and a balcony, all enclosed by white fencing.

Juliet (Cordelia Braithwaite) is red-haired and intense, preyed upon and eventually raped by the brutal guard Tybalt (Dan Wright, scarily large and tattooed). Romeo (Paris Fitzpatrick, touchingly fragile) is the twitchy, troubled son of Senator and Mrs. Montague, who are extremely keen to wash their hands of their embarrassing child.

Romeo is hustled into his regulation white sweats by Mercutio and his boyfriend Balthasar, and Benvolio, who form a cavorting trio. (On Friday, Reece Causton, in the role of Mercutio, was injured early on in the show, which had to be halted while his alternate, Ben Brown, rushed to the theater and continued the performance with aplomb; bravo.) This bond among the boys, and its homoeroticism, is one of several instances in which Mr. Bourne nods to ballet versions of “Romeo and Juliet,” particularly the one by Kenneth MacMillan.

As in that ballet, Romeo and Juliet meet at a dance governed by strictly regulated social behaviors and power structures, organized here by the kindly Rev. Bernadette Laurence (Daisy May Kemp), a jolly hockey-sticks version of Shakespeare’s Friar Laurence. And their first rapturous, floor-rolling, limb-entwining, passion-dazed duet — which contains what may be the longest, most acrobatic kiss ever sustained while dancing — finds an intensity equal to the great balcony scene pas de deux.

But in Mr. Bourne’s “Romeo and Juliet,” there are no warring families or feuds to propel the action and the eventual tragedy. Instead there are other forces, particularly resonant ones: mental health and sexual harassment.

Tybalt’s rape of Juliet triggers the chain of disasters. When he later stumbles drunkenly upon the lovers, and betrays his feelings for Juliet, he is mocked by the adolescents. Enraged and humiliated, he pulls out a gun. Mercutio is killed in the fracas, then Tybalt is strangled by the group, with Romeo left to take the blame. The narrative suspense and urgency of these scenes, and the drama of the two men’s deaths to Prokofiev’s thundering drum beats, is astounding theater from Mr. Bourne, offering blazing energy from his terrific cast. (Joining his company, New Adventures, are six pre-professional dancers.)

“Romeo and Juliet” should be a hit for Mr. Bourne. His scenic and choreographic economy of means, wit and detail of movement, skillful deployment of the Prokofiev score (the order of its numbers rearranged) — all are astonishingly good.

But without exterior agents to propel the plot, and with the variables of mental trauma as motivation, the greater resonances of Shakespeare’s tragedy are sacrificed. There is no real causality between the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt and the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, no sense of the everlasting inability to let go of hatred and fear. Then, in the final scenes, Mr. Bourne takes a disconcerting departure from Shakespeare that changes our sense of the story from tragedy to accident, and of the protagonists from courageous rebels to tormented victims.

Matthew Bourne’s CINDERELLA. Photo by Hugo Glendinning

New Adventures are delighted to announce casting for the much-anticipated return of Matthew Bourne’s “CINDERELLA”. The tour opens on Saturday 9th December 2017 at Sadler’s Wells where it plays a seven-week season until Saturday 27th January 2018. 

Matthew Bourne said today: “Cinderella is one of my most heartfelt works and a personal favourite amongst my re-imagined classic stories. I’m delighted to have brought together this cast of current star performers, experienced New Adventures veterans and exciting young talent. I’m thrilled to see another generation of Company dancers take on this beloved production”

Fresh from their triumph playing Victoria Page in “The Red Shoes”, the role of ‘Cinderella’ will be performed by Cordelia Braithwaite and Ashley Shaw.

Cinderella’s heroic Pilot, ‘Harry’, will be performed by Will Bozier, Andrew Monaghan and Dominic North.

‘The Angel’ (Cinderella’s ‘Fairy GodFather’) will be danced by Paris Fitzpatrick and Liam Mower.

‘Sybil’, Cinderella’s Step-Mother, is performed by Madelaine Brennan, Michela Meazza (London only) and Anjali Mehra.

‘Robert’, Cinderella’s Father is performed by Alan Vincent and Dan Wright.

Cinderella’s Step Brothers and Sisters and the people of 1940’s London complete the cast: Steph Billers; João Carolino; Reece Causton; Jackson Fisch; Glenn Graham; Sophia Hurdley; Jack Jones; Nicole Kabera; Kate Lyons; Jamie McDonald; Stephen Murray (Former Central School of Ballet/New Adventures Student Associate), Danny Reubens; Katie Webb and Seren Williams.

One of New Adventures’ most loved productions Matthew Bourne’s “CINDERELLA” is a thrilling and evocative love story, set in London during the Second World War.

Matthew Bourne’s interpretation of the classic fairy tale has, at its heart, a true war-time romance. A chance meeting results in a magical night for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot, together just long enough to fall in love before being parted by the horrors of the Blitz.

With Lez Brotherston’s sumptuous costumes and sets, which won an Olivier Award for his original designs, and lighting by Olivier Award-winning Neil Austin, “CINDERELLA” will be performed in Surround Sound, designed by Paul Groothuis and featuring a specially commissioned recording played by a 60-piece orchestra. Matthew Bourne’s vivid story telling has never been more heart-stopping and touching, and will take the audience into the heart of Prokofiev’s magnificent score, and the sights and sounds of war-torn London.

2017 marks 20 years since “CINDERELLA” first premiered in the West End and New Adventures’ 16th consecutive Christmas season at Sadler’s Wells. “CINDERELLA” concludes a year-long celebration of work to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of New Adventures.

New Adventures & Re:Bourne is a national portfolio organisation supported using public funds by Arts Council England.

Four show weekend, and there’s already been one injury - poor Reece Causton (Mercutio) got an ankle injury, they stopped the show, rang Ben Brown who was fortunately only around the corner and it ended up being only a 12 minute stop.  Blimey.
