REEL Adventures - A Festival of Classics

Including the Broadcast Premieres of last year's hit new Production of Romeo and Juliet

The spectacular new production of the iconic Swan Lake

Plus all-time favourite The Car Man


New Adventures is delighted to announce A Festival of Classics as part of its REEL Adventures online programme bringing the adventures to you; including a series of Broadcast Premieres on Sky TV and rare screenings of some of Matthew Bourne’s most beloved productions.

 

“We’ve been overwhelmed by the support from our dedicated community of friends and followers. It’s important, now more than ever, that we stay connected with each other whilst we navigate what is an incredibly challenging time for us all. We have always endeavoured to bring our productions to a wider audience through collaborations with Sky Arts and More2Screen. At a time when none of us are able to enjoy a live performance at our local theatre we’re delighted to be able to reach audiences through their TV. Huge thanks go to Sky Arts and all those involved in creating these films for making this possible at such short notice.”

- Matthew Bourne
