Swan Lake returns to the TRP

Katrina Lyndon, one of the stars of Sir Matthew's New Adventures company, said the iconic dance show is 'life changing' and 'definitely one to watch!

Katrina is no stranger to TRP having graced the stage in a number of different shows, most recently in New Adventures' adaptation of Edward Scissorhands.

The former Montpelier and Coombe Dean pupil has also appeared in Swan Lake twice before, and returns for a third stint as the Prince's girlfriend but also his mother.

"This will be my third time that I am doing the show - so I know it really well," she told The Herald.

"But I've got a new set of responsibilities, slightly on the management team, so I am teaching lots of new material this time, so it's a new challenge for me, helping to put it together, which is great."

Bourne is known for upending traditions in order to create new versions of classic stories, and Katrina said the latest show is no different.

The show is best known for replacing the female corps-deballet with a menacing male ensemble, which shattered convention, turning tradition on its head.
