Matthew Bourne's Nutcracker! (Touring)

This theatrical feast is celebrating its 20th anniversary and has family-sized helpings of Matthew Bourne's trademark wit, pathos and magical fantasy.

Nutcracker follows Clara's bittersweet journey from a hilariously bleak Christmas Eve at Dr Dross's orphanage, through a shimmering, ice skating winter wonderland to the scrumptious candy kingdom of Sweetieland.

Tchaikovsky's glorious score and Anthony Ward's sets and costumes combine with a sizzling choreography to create an irreverent interpretation of the traditional favourite.

Directed and choreographed by Matthew Bourne, it is co-devised by Martin Duncan, with lighting design by Howard Harrison and sound design by Paul Groothuis.
