Britain's biggest and most exciting touring dance company who often tour two programmes at a time. Dancing to a mixture of musical styles they provide enormously watchable evenings. Rambert are masters of dance theatre where the dance is exceptional and the theatre delivers irresistible stories. Death Trap is an evening of two short works by Lost Dog Dance's Ben Duke, known for his storytelling that reveals the absurd, the savage and funny. Cerberus is an adaptation of the Greek myth Orpheus and Eurydice, a bittersweet musing on myth where dance is literally a matter of life and death. Goat is inspired by the music and spirit of Nina Simone with a live on-stage band performing her iconic songs including 'Feelings', 'Feeling Good' and 'Ain't Got No/ I Got Life'.

Saw Death Trap this evening at Theatre Royal Newcastle and have never been more disappointed. Wonderful Dancers, Great Musicians BUT leave the acting to actors who we can hear. The nauseating dialogue was a complete distraction from the dance and did the designer go home at half time and leave us with white Y Fronts to distract from the dance? Bring back the spirit of Christopher Bruce, bring back the joy and flair of Dame Marie and be a Dance Company. Do what you do well. The camera work and the MC were an unfunny device that contributed nothing but a distraction. We are now nervous of coming to see Rambert again.
