"Buckle up for the ride of your life. Gripping, gasp-making, edge-of-your-seat stuff."
Matthew Bourne’s smouldering dance thriller The Car Man roars back into London for a strictly limited season at Sadler’s Wells. Set to Rodion Shchedrin’s electrifying reworking of Bizet’s Carmen, it’s a tale of lust, betrayal and murder told entirely through dance - and one of the most thrilling pieces of dance-theatre ever made.
In the sweltering American Midwest town of Harmony, life at Dino’s greasy garage-diner is turned upside down when a magnetic, dangerous stranger named Luca drifts into town.
