About This Event

Matthew Bourne’s production of The Car Man is set to return to Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London on 28 August 2026. The dance thriller, featuring a score and storytelling praised for its vividness, will run at 19:30. Tickets begin at £18.

About The Car Man

The Car Man at Sadler’s Wells Theatre is Matthew Bourne’s award-winning dance work, loosely based on Bizet’s opera. It features one of the most recognisable scores in New Adventures’ repertoire and places a small-town story in a 1950s garage-diner in the American Mid-West.

When a handsome and enigmatic stranger arrives, the community is drawn into a story of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge. Matthew Bourne’s storytelling is paired with music by Terry Davies, featuring Rodion Shchedrin’s Carmen Suite after Bizet’s Carmen.

The production is described as a dance thriller, with a focus on heat, desire and escalating tension.

Duration: 1 hour 55 minutes, including one 20 minute interval.
