Summary

Sir Matthew Bourne's reimaginings of classic works like Swan Lake, The Nutcracker and Carmen have become legendary, and have transformed our ideas of what dance, and what theatre, are capable of. In this in-depth conversation, Gyles finds out about Sir Matthew's origin story, from his childhood days putting on shows for the neighbours on his street, to his teenage years, spent autograph-hunting in London's West End with his best friend, Simon. Matthew also talks about his circuitous route to dance school and we find out about the current tour of Matthew's famous Swan Lake. Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake is at The Lowry, Salford from 19 November until 30 November, ahead of the 8-week annual Christmas season at Sadler’s Wells from 3 December 2024 to 26 January 2025. It then goes on a UK tour for Spring 2025. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
