Fagin's Twist

It's 'Oliver Twist' - but not as you know it. Tony Adigun's Avant Garde Dance company is inspired by Dickens' tale of London lowlifes to create a whole new spin on street culture. Five characters are brought to life in a hip hop piece of dance theatre.

La Fille Mal Gardée

Recommended

The Royal Ballet’s perma-fresh ‘La Fille Mal Gardée’ (‘The Wayward Daughter’) was created back in 1960 by Frederick Ashton but it still bursts with giddy silliness. A dreamy teenage girl causes mayhem on a farm that features pecking chickens as well as budding romance.
