Matthew Bourne's triumphant re-interpretation of one of ballet's classic and most beloved stories, Swan Lake. Winner of three Tony Awards this mesmerizing and stunningly powerful performance comes to selected cinemas. Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake in 3D turns

North as The Prince and Nina Goldman as The Queen. This special interpretation of Swan Lake incorporates a theatrical storyline into the classic ballet-making it a must-see for both dance enthusiasts and theatre fans alike. Edgy and dramatic, Matthew Bourne
