Birmingham Royal Ballet - Solitaire/Checkmate/The Lady and the Fool archive

Three thrilling ballets from leading 20th century choreographers: in MacMillan's wistful Solitaire, a young girl remains an outsider despite her attempts to be accepted; in de Valois' Checkmate, the beautiful Black Queen mercilessly sweeps aside all opponents; and in Cranko's highly romantic The Lady and the Fool, true love triumphs.
