THE MANX BALLET COMPANY presents La Fille Mal Gardee (The Wayward Daughter)
About the Show
This is a full length ballet comique at the Gaiety Theatre. The Principal dancers will guest from Ballet West, Scotland, and well-known local dancers Gena Walker and Sonia Callin. The student dancers represent the following dance schools: Christine Wild Theatre School, Dancers' Barre, Gena Walker Academy of Dance, Mannin School of Ballet, The Academy of Dance and the Vicky Price School of Ballet.
When country beauty, Lise, falls in love with handsome farm lad Colas, she's about to upset the butter churn! Her mother, Widow Simone, is not at all pleased, as she has her own ideas about the man her pretty (but wilful) daughter should marry. Pompous and wealthy vineyard owner Thomas has a son - as attractive as a radish, smart as a potato and as clumsy as a mule. All set out to meet their heart's desires in an unintentionally comical way!
An absolutely charming ballet for the whole family.
Supported by the Isle of Man Arts Council.
