HIGHLAND FLING
A romantic wee ballet
Matthew Bourne’s acclaimed reworking of the classic romantic ballet La Sylphide . This brand new production, re-choreographed and totally re-designed, is bigger and even better than the 1994 original version - now with double the number of cast members.
Highland Fling tells the story of James, a young Glaswegian who is lured from his nuptial bed by an unearthly siren. As his love for this beautiful ‘Sylph’ becomes an obsession, he embarks on a journey that takes him from the mean streets and nightclubs of Glasgow into a magical world beyond.
This gothic fable of winged fairies and kilted ladies - filled with all the wild excesses of romanticism -has been given an ingenious make-over by Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures and is packed with all their trademark wit, magic and wicked humour.
