About The Bench

Have you ever sat on a park bench and wondered who came before you, who might come after, what they were thinking, and what hopes and fears they were hiding? 

The Bench, by choreographer Glenn Graham, and performed by dancers of Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures, tells the story of three people whose lives overlap in unexpected ways. It is a poetic and moving exploration of memory, connection, and the quiet moments that shape us. 

The park bench brings together characters from vastly different time-periods. As they explore the possessions they carry with them, objects they hold dear, they find new connection and support in this chance encounter.

Content Information

Certain points may be loud with some sudden noises. As well as music, the show includes Big Ben chiming, phone notifications buzzing, sounds of air raid sirens and bombing noises.

 

Doorstep Duets by New Adventures will be presented on Tuesday 4th August as part of Play Days, coordinated by Everyone Active and Crawley Community Youth Service (CCYS).
