Spellbinding Game-Changer

In 1995 Matthew Bourne and his New Adventures troupe took the Ballet world by storm when they debuted their all-male version of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. Since then the production has become one of the world's most iconic pieces of dance and is now the proud owner of an Olivier and three Tony awards.
