Matthew Bourne's New Adventures Marlowe debut.
Following a record breaking and critically acclaimed season at London's Sadler's Wells, Matthew Bourne's New Adventures come to Canterbury for the very first time with their spectacular new production of Sleeping Beauty.
Matthew Bourne has won awards and sold out theatres around the globe. He is a five-time Olivier Award Winner and the only UK artist to have won a Tony Award on Broadway for both Best Choreographer and Best Director Of A Musical.
His past productions, including the global sensation Swan Lake, are regarded as some of the most successful narrative-driven theatrical productions ever staged. Now "this Sleeping Beauty is destined to wake up and find itself a worldwide smash hit" (Mail On Sunday).
