Matthew Bourne’s award-winning The Car Man is returning to Sadler’s Wells, London! Loosely based on Bizet’s ever-popular opera, The Car Man has one of the most thrilling and instantly recognisable scores in New Adventures’ repertoire.

A SHATTERINGLY GOOD PIECE OF STORYTELLING. TERRIFIC

- Observer

The familiar 19th Century Spanish cigarette factory becomes a greasy 1950’s garage-diner in the American Mid-West where the dreams and passions of a small-town are shattered by the arrival of a handsome and enigmatic stranger. Fuelled by heat and desire, the inhabitants are driven into an unstoppable spiral of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge.

A THRILLING AND SERIOUSLY SEXY SENSATION
