Matthew Bourne's Play Without Words is a dance drama returning for its first revival as part of New Adventures' 25th anniversary celebration, making its debut at Sadler's Wells in a strictly limited four week season. It was first produced by the National Theatre in 2002, where it was a critical and popular success, and won the 2003 Olivier Awards for Best Entertainment and Best Theatre Choreographer. The story is set in Chelsea in 1965, where an urbane master and his beautiful fiancée welcome their new manservant, Prentice, and what follows changes their lives forever. Designer Lez Brotherston and lighting designer Paule Constable repeat their Olivier-nominated work, and Terry Davies' acclaimed jazz influenced score will be played live at all performances.
