Sylvia Pankhurst. Activist. Rebel. Icon.

Torn between loyalty, love, and revolution, see her remarkable story explode onto the stage when Sylvia storms into Canterbury in 2026.

The Olivier Award winning electrifying musical is fueled by an irresistible soundtrack that joyously unites hip hop, funk and soul, by Josh Cohen and DJ Walde and brought to life by world-renowned choreographer and storyteller Kate Prince (ZooNation).

FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS… Matthew Bourne’s award-winning The Car Man is back!

Loosely based on Bizet’s ever-popular opera, The Car Man has one of the most thrilling and instantly recognisable scores in New Adventures’ repertoire.

The familiar 19th century Spanish cigarette factory becomes a greasy 1950’s garage-diner in the American mid-west where the dreams and passions of a small-town are shattered by the arrival of a handsome and enigmatic stranger. Fuelled by heat and desire, the inhabitants are driven into an unstoppable spiral of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge.

The Philharmonia’s Finnish Principal Conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali is at home in this repertoire, framing Grieg’s concerto with music by his compatriot Sibelius. First, enjoy Sibelius’s musical depiction of the Oceanides, sea-nymphs of Greek mythology – one of his most loved works.
