Birmingham Royal Ballet - Shakespeare Triple Bill

Birmingham Royal Ballet - Shakespeare Triple Bill description

Our celebration of Shakespeare continues with a combination of tragedy, comedy and poetry, all translated into dance.

José Limón's The Moor's Pavane distils the passion and drama of Shakespeare's Othello into a thrilling one-act tragedy, tightly focussed on four characters and their jealousy.

David Bintley's The Shakespeare Suite sets a collection of the Bard's best-loved characters to a swinging Duke Ellington score and offers a quicksilver visit to Shakespearean couples of every sort, star-crossed, bewitched, squabbling, and romantic, plus a powerhouse solo.

Finally Jessica Lang captures the poetry of the sonnets in Wink, a brand-new work for the Company.
