'Nightingale'- A Family-Friendly Ballet at Walmer Castle and Gardens

This original production is the first professional dance show to explore the life of Florence Nightingale, a complex national hero and female icon. Experience Florence’s journey from her family home to the battlefield in this familyfriendly, open-air production, building on NCC’s track-record of exceptional outdoor performances (The Secret Garden) in 2021 and 2022. Through live music and dance, this unique show will take audiences on a moving journey into Nightingale’s story of struggle and success. Narrated extracts from Florence’s personal diaries bring her story to life through her own words. The show features another original, breath-taking score composed by Adam Kornas and more stunning, character-driven choreography by Nina Monteiro, performed by an accomplished cast of dancers and musicians.
