MATTHEW Bourne’s multi-award-winning modern reinterpretation of Swan Lake returns to Salford for one week only.

Now firmly crowned as a modern-day classic, this iconic production is perhaps best-known for replacing the traditional female corps de ballet with a menacing male ensemble.

Collecting more than 30 international theatre awards including three Tonys, Swan Lake has been acclaimed as a landmark achievement.

It has become the longest-running ballet in the West End and on Broadway and enjoyed four hugely successful UK tours.

* Swan Lake is at the Lowry in Salford from Monday to Saturday, March 1 to 6.
