Pleasure's Progress
ROH2
The Lowry Studio
22 October
*****
Stunning show created by the Royal Ballet's Will Tuckett, based on the drawings of William Hogarth depicting London life and society in the mid-18th century and drawing from musical theatre, drama, opera and ballet.
The cast and musicians were superb, the staging lavish and highly effective. The Lowry Studio has never looked better. Funny, rude, atmospheric and moving, I loved it.
