Review: THE CAR MAN, Sadler's Wells
by Franco Milazzo - Aug 3, 2026
Luca swaggers into Harmony (population 375, and dropping) looking less like a drifter than an escapee from a protein powder advert, and Matthew Bourne's dance-noir wastes no time weaponising that effect. Under a sign reading 'Man Wanted,' the garage owner Dino offers him work and his wife Lana offers considerably more; before the interval is out, so has the gentle mechanic Angelo. Man wanted, indeed.

Review: MURDER FOR BREAKFAST at Joe's Pub Is “Chef's Kiss”
by Nathan Johnson - Sep 9, 2024
Sayre’s genius isn’t just in tapping perfectly into the noir world that inspired him. He crafts bold, over-the-top characters who, despite their outrageousness, feel completely believable in this heightened reality.
