Matthew Bourne's Early Adventures



Yes, this really IS from Matthew Bourne's amazing triple bill 'Early Adventures'.   The first ballet, Spitfire, is subtitled 'An advertisement divertissement' and takes the mickey out of the world of advertising - the dancers do amazing poses and parody, wonderful, clever and oh so funny.


Then there is Town and Country (subtitle Lie back and think of England) and then The Infernal Galop.   Lovely bit in Country with a dead hedgehog.  You have to see it to get it.

The sequence in the bathroom is timed to perfection, maybe a few naughty glimpses, but the towels are cleverly used.    However, one of the funniest pieces was in a pissoir (I think that's what it's called) when the pissing went on.  And on.   And on.  Again, you have to see it to understand how funny it was, and in fact a very sexy piece it turned out to be.


This was so funny I seem to have pasted it twice.....
