Lest We Forget got rave reviews

English National Ballet's five-star critically acclaimed production of Lest We Forget opened at the Barbican last week to rave reviews!

Award-winning British choreographers Akram Khan (Dust), Russell Maliphant (Second Breath) and Liam Scarlett (No Man's Land) have each created new work to reflect the moving and powerful impact of the First World War on those setting off to fight and those left behind. Khan’s work explores the empowerment of women in the war whilst Maliphant’s conveys the sacrifice of the men. Scarlett’s work explores the relationship between men and the women they leave behind – the loss and longing. The programme is completed by George Williamson ’s re-worked Firebird set to the commanding Stravinsky score performed by our live orchestra.

“Amazing” Jeffery Taylor, Sunday Express

“A brave and brilliant move from director Tamara Rojo” Lyndsey Winship, Evening Standard.

“Make this absolutely an evening to catch if you can” Hanna Weibye, The Arts Desk.

“Lest We Forget is both moving and ambitious” Zoë Anderson, The Independent

"a turning point in ENB’s history” Judith Mackrel, The Guardian

“Melancholic but thrillingly uplifting” Sarah Crompton, Telegraph
