Matt Bourne's Early Adventures triple bill opened at Cambridge Corn Exchange last night - never my favourite venue - and runs till Saturday. Despite leaving home early, general Doris-related traffic mayhem in the area meant we still arrived just after the start, but were allowed to slip in halfway through the first item. With two pieces from 1991 and another from 1989, but clearly looking well back into the first half of the 20th century, the cast of 6 chaps and 3 girls gave an engaging and witty set of performances from Sir Matt's early rep, before his Swan Lake and all that followed it. Marking 30 years of his New Adventures company, I wonder if he could have imagined back in 1987 that he'd have two companies touring today around the UK? These early pieces are a world away from his Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty and Red Shoes but they have charm and fun in abundance. Just the thing at the end of Doris Day - and the traffic had all melted away by going-home time. PS: A post-show Q&A session with Sir Matt and dancers had to be cancelled thanks to no trains running to Cambridge from London. The staff didn't know, but perhaps that might move to tonight or tomorrow?
