About

About The Car Man

The Car Man at Sadler's Wells Theatre is Matthew Bourne’s award-winning dance thriller, loosely based on Bizet’s opera. The story moves from a 19th-century Spanish cigarette factory to a greasy 1950s garage-diner in the American Mid-West, where the arrival of a handsome, enigmatic stranger disrupts a small town.

Driven by heat and desire, the characters are pulled into a spiral of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge. The production features music by Terry Davies, including Rodion Shchedrin’s Carmen Suite after Bizet’s Carmen.

Running time: 1 hour 55 mins, including one 20 minute interval.
