200 years after her death, the enduring fascination with Queen Victoria continues unabated with Northern Ballet's much anticipated new narrative ballet by Cathy Marston. Following on from the success of her adaptation of Jane Eyre, Marston, and dramaturg Uzma Hameed once again visit the era through the eyes of the ruler and her daughter Beatrice.
A keen diarist, Victoria recorded thousands of intimate moments throughout her reign, including her relationship with her beloved Prince Albert. See Victoria as she progresses from teenaged Queen to dour figurehead of the British Empire taking on the challenges of leadership, the passion of love and the tragic grief of widowhood, as scored by Philip Feeney.
