English National Ballet’s production of Akram Khan’s Giselle

After the success of our first season of filmed live events last autumn, we are delighted to announce our 4th screening in our second season of six screenings.

All evenings will be again introduced by Barry Purves with informed trivia, anecdotes and some background of the production. The bar will be open as usual before and after the show and during the interval. So please come and join us in a friendly, informal atmosphere and take advantage of sensational screening facilities as well as our low prices and free car park

English National Ballet have in their repertoire a gloriously rich and romantic production of Giselle, a traditional version if you will, but almost two years the company, in a co-production with our own Manchester international Festival and Sadler’s wells, decided to run a startlingly modern and hard hitting, production, choreographed by Akram Khan, with set and costumes by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon designer Tim Yip and with Giselle danced by Tamara Rojo, the director of ENB. This production was filmed lasted year, the first production of ENB to be filmed for the cinema, in the Liverpool Empire Theatre.

This dramatic multi award winning production is dance at it’s most powerful and relevant. We are thrilled to be screening this ballet that widens the scope of dance.

Running time 113 minutes.

The Garrick is a non-professional organisation that is extremely well regarded for the high quality of our productions; however we rely on the hard work and generosity of our volunteers. Many of our patrons believe that our ticket prices are too low considering our large overheads, the quality of our productions and the overall high standard of the theatrical experience that we provide. We also have a wonderful youth Academy, GAPA which offers theatre stagecraft tuition to over 100 students per term. (We also offer Bursaries so please feel free to enquire).

If you agree and like what you see, then we ask that you support your local Playhouse by kindly donating whatever you can when you book tickets online or at our Box Office. Remember you can also gift aid your kind donation.

Your support will enable the Garrick to grow and thrive. WE ARE MOST GRATEFUL, THANK YOU!
