REVIEW: Matthew Bourne’s Romeo and Juliet

Reading Time: 3 minutesFrom the get go, I had goosebumps. Opening with Prokofiev's terrific 'Dance of the Knights', the show continued with passion and astounding elegance. Not having adapted Shakespeare before, Matthew Bourne has done so with success in his reinterpretation of Romeo and Juliet, showing at Sadler's Wells now until 2nd September. Bourne reimagines the classic story and turns it into something utterly modern, compelling, and inventive.
