Checkmate/The Lady and the Fool/Hobson's Choice

Three ballets from leading 20th Century choreographers: in de Valois’ Checkmate the beautiful Black Queen mercilessly sweeps aside all opponents; in Cranko’s highly romantic The Lady and the Fool true love triumphs; and in MacMillan’s wistful Solitaire a young girl remains an outsider despite her attempts to be accepted. Hobson’s Choice- From the modest surrounds of a Salford shoe shop springs a gleeful romantic comedy. Will Mossop is a humble shoemaker, whose talent could take him far. Headstrong Maggie Hobson is learning to play by the rules - and win - in a man’s world. Henry’ Maggies father, is completely flummoxed by a younger generation every bit as stubborn as himself!
