ENGLISH NATIONAL BALLET “LEST WE FORGET” RAVE REVIEWS
English National Ballet’s five-star critically acclaimed production of Lest We Forget got rave reviews.
Award-winning British choreographers Akram Khan (Dust), Russell Maliphant (Second Breath) and Liam Scarlett (No Man’s Land) have each created new work to reflect the moving and powerful impact of the First World War on those setting off to fight and those left behind. Khan’s work explores the empowerment of women in the war whilst Maliphant’s conveys the sacrifice of the men. Scarlett’s work explores the relationship between men and the women they leave behind – the loss and longing. The programme is completed by George Williamson ’s re-worked Firebird set to the commanding Stravinsky score performed by our live orchestra.
“Amazing” Jeffery Taylor, Sunday Express.

«You almost instinctively describe Nureyev as ‘blinding’, but ‘illuminating’ is much more apt»
