A mysterios stranger arrives in a small town community, leading the locals in to greed, sex and murder. Directed and choreographed by Matthew Bourne. "THE CAR MAN" is designed by Olivier and Tony award-winning designer Lez Brotherston, in his fourth collaboration with Adventures in Motion Pictures. Lighting design is by Chris Davey, music by Terry Davis and Rodion Schedrin adapted from the original score by Georges Bizet and musical direction by Brett Morris. "THE CAR MAN" is produced by Katharine Doré for Adventures in Motion Pictures.The story differs completely from the plot of the opera. Instead, it is loosely based on James M. Cain's novel The Postman Always Rings Twice (1934), and the 1946 and 1981 films of the same name. The ballet is notable for its frank depictions of violence and sex, including homoeroticism.
