“The show takes an awful lot of maintenance and one is always in the process of auditioning, training and rehearsing new Billies into the show… So much of the dance in this show is different to most other shows because it’s directly narrative, so dance as narrative is quite a tricky thing to get around, as an idea.”

Stephen Daldry, Director
