Ballet Black has adapted Oyinkan Braithwaite’s novel My Sister, The Serial Killer with irresistible verve, making murder dreadfully relatable.

It’s a marvel of deft dance storytelling as it mixes stylish dancing and witty characterisation. Paired with Chanel DaSilva’s A Shadow Work, it makes a handsome double bill.
