Author(s): Georges Bizet; Gary Khan (Volume Editor)

Classic Fiction

The Olivier Award nominated producers of La Traviata, La boh me and Tosca present a vivid, compelling and devastatingly powerful take on Georges Bizet's masterpiece. Carmen works minimum wage jobs on the frontline of Britain's crumbling service industry. Jose falls madly in love with her after a brief fling. As his passion morphs into something uglier, and far more troubling, Carmen realises she might have made a fatal mistake... Sung in English, and blending stark emotional realism with some of the world's most beloved music, this highly original new production examines toxic relationships in a society on the brink of collapse.
