With no adults around they start to make their own rules and create their own civilisation, before order breaks down and the story builds to an electrifying climax.Matthew Bourne’s choreography for classic musicals includes Cameron Mackintosh’s productions of Oliver! (1994 and 2009 Olivier nomination), My Fair Lady (2002 - Olivier Award), and the National Theatre’s revival of South Pacific (2002).
