Swanlake by Bourne (Image: Johan Persson) ETHEARAL, eerie and a little bit evil — there really is nothing quite like Matthew Bourne's production of Swan Lake.

3 1/1 101 Dalmations The Musical Mayflower Theatre, Southampton With her distinctive monochrome style, maniacal laughter and murderous intentions Cruella de Vil is arguably one of the boldest, baddest villains ever created.
