Get Matthew Bourne’s The Midnight Bell Tickets – an intoxicating new dance-theatre event

Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures presents The Midnight Bell – an evocative new dance-theatre piece inspired by the works of the great English novelist Patrick Hamilton (Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky, Hangover Square), renowned for his raw and authentic depictions of 1930s working-class London life.

This tantalising new show brings to life the underbelly of a city immersed in the shadows of cheap boarding houses and fog-soaked streets. Set in a Soho tavern filled with lonely hearts, this production explores the secret desires, yearnings, and frustrations of the men and women who find themselves bound by love, lust, and heartache in the heart of London’s most mysterious districts.

Don’t miss this extraordinary dance-theatre event that shines a light on the emotional turbulence of 1930s Soho—a world where hearts are bruised and battered, yet hope lingers in the air.

The Midnight Bell is now playing on tour.

Intoxicated tales from darkest Soho

Step inside The Midnight Bell, a tavern where one particular lonely-hearts club gather to play out their lovelorn affairs of the heart; bitter comedies of longing, frustration, betrayal, and redemption.
