REMEMBER ME // 20 OCT-11 NOV
For more than 40 years, the all-male comedy ballet company Les Ballets
Trockadero de Monte Carlo (affectionately known as ‘The Trocks’) have
been delighting audiences of all ages at sellout performances featuring
their fabulous sense of fun and their flawless dance. Every performance
frivolously froths with tutus and testosterone, blush-pink ballet pumps,
fierce false eyelashes and prima ballerina attitude however, what makes
this company extraordinarily special is their immaculate technique and
daring physicality, surpassed only by their impeccable comic timing.
7.30pm. Price: £10.75 - £32.25
