FIRST LOOK: The Flying Lovers Of Vitebsk at Wilton’s Music Hall
Kneehigh Theatre’s The Flying Lovers Of Vitebsk comes to Wilton’s Music Hall this week and we are pleased to bring you these great first look production photos of Emma Rice’s production. Marc and Bella Chagall were the flying lovers of Vitebsk. Partners in life and on canvas, they are immortalised as the picture of romance.

The comic performance of the night, and the source of most consistent pleasure, came from the very talented Tom Edden who made an acting masterclass out of the portrayal of the reluctant Vice President, Alexander Throttlebottom (is there a character in a Broadway musical with a better name?).
