Matthew Bourne’s Nutcracker arrived at the Liverpool Empire theatre last night, bringing a new take on the classic tale.
Nutcracker begins on Christmas Eve at Dr. Dross’ Orphanage and follows the journey of Clara, a young girl who is gifted a special ventriloquist doll. During the night, Clara and the audience are taken on a magical journey through a winter wonderland, eventually ending up in the kingdom of Sweetieland.
Matthew Bourne has put his unique twist on a variety of classic productions over the years, including Swan Lake and Romeo and Juliet, and Nutcracker is no exception.
