The Shakespeare Dream Bill, Birmingham Royal Ballet’s commemoration of 400 years since the death of William Shakespeare comes to The Lowry in Salford from September 15 to 17.

It features three differing works, from contemporary to classical beginning with Jessica Lang’s brand-new work, Wink, inspired by five of Shakespeare’s sonnets.

This special triple bill also features José Limón's The Moor's Pavane. Created in 1949, this dark and dramatic work embodies the tensions, drama and jealousy in Shakespeare’s Othello.

The bill concludes with a touch of magic and mayhem as the company revives Sir Frederick Ashton’s classical interpretation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
