Title: Swan Lake (Matthew Bourne)
Product review: Please, save yourself the money and bother. This is a very misguided production. I can only blame myself because I didn't read the description carefully. It appears that Mr(?)Bourne is hoping to normalize some abnormal behavior by blaming it on abnormal behavior, which he must consider normal. Follow that? Is this an autobiographical piece? If my only gripe were the ridiculous content I would keep quiet, assuming that maybe I'm just a prude. But fluffy pantaloons on sweaty bare-chested BIRDS! Oh, please. And the choreography looked like a lame effort at West Side Story meets Swan Lake. My adult children and I sat and laughed until we cried--skipping ahead when we were completely disgusted, of course. Stick to playing gigs at pubs, Mr. Bourne. I ordered another version.
