What is Matthew Bourne’s The Car Man about?

Inspired by Georges Bizet’s iconic opera, The Car Man delivers one of the most electrifying and instantly recognisable scores in New Adventures’ repertoire. This bold reimagining transforms the familiar 19th-century Spanish cigarette factory into a slick, oil-stained 1950s garage-diner in the American Midwest, where small-town dreams simmer beneath the surface.

When a dangerously handsome and enigmatic stranger rolls into town, passion ignites and lives unravel. Fuelled by heat, desire and raw emotion, the community is hurled into a relentless spiral of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge - making The Car Man a thrilling, high-octane dance drama that grips audiences from the first beat to the last.
