Matthew Bourne’s Play Without Words
Set in a suave Chelsea house in 1965, an urbane master and his beautiful fiancée welcome their new manservant, Prentice, igniting a struggle for power and sexual domination that will change their lives forever.
Inspired by Joseph Losey’s 1963 film classic The Servant and based on The Servant by Robin Maugham, Matthew Bourne’s Play Without Words is devised and directed by Matthew Bourne with music by Terry Davies. Presented by New Adventures in association with the National Theatre, this dance theatre masterpiece features an original score played live onstage at every performance.
