If anyone doubts that Matthew Bourne isn't the most exciting choreographer in the world today then they haven't seen his latest work Highland Fling which played to capacity audiences at Saddlers Wells last week.

Those lucky enough to get a ticket were treated to a superb reworking of Bourne's adaptation of La Sylphide which was first performed 10 years ago.

Since then he has given the world a multi award winning Swan Lake, a camper than Christmas Nutcracker and the sizzlingly erotic The Car Man.

Now Highland Fling is carrying on Bourne's tradition of taking a classical piece and giving it a modern twist.

Highland Fling relocates the action to Glasgow where James, who has taken far too many drugs, falls in love with a hallucinatory fairy.

But James is getting married to Effie and on a stag night fuelled with alcohol and drugs he is visited by the sylph.

On his wedding day the sylph visits him again only this time when she goes James follows.

But unlike his other works there is no happy ending in the last scene when James tries to tame the sylphs.

The story is told with Bourne's trademark humour, the opening scene, set in the nightclub toilets, is a riot and how many ballets open to the strains of Donald Where's Yer Troosers?

It is nigh on impossible to praise Highland Fling enough, to watch it was an unalloyed pleasure, Bourne just keeps getting better and better.

Highland Fling comes to the New Wimbledon Theatre on March 22. Call 0870 060 6646.
