Shakespeare's sonnets reimagined in modern settings, performed with raw intensity by a new generation of actors.
Shakespeare Sonnets: A Modern Love Story
Theater
MacMillan’s spectacular ensemble scenes for the whole Company create vivid, complex portraits of the distinct societies of Paris and New Orleans. But it is Manon and Des Grieux’s impassioned pas de deux – recalling the intensity of MacMillan’s earlier Romeo and Juliet – that drive this tragic story, and make Manon one of MacMillan’s most powerful dramas.
