dirac Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 A review of the Sky Arts broadcast of Matthew Bourne's "The Car Man" by Deborah Weiss for DanceTabs. Quote Vincent is suitably repellant as Dino (as he was delectably alluring as Luca in the original cast); Lyons’ sincerity as Rita is palpable and North’s Angelo is so heartbreaking that, not for the first time in any number of different roles he has undertaken, he literally makes my soul ache with compassion. As Lana, Strallen is a scintillating, wanton temptress – no wonder she won a National Dance Award in 2015 for her portrayal. And as Luca, Trenfield exudes a lascivious, rather lewd yet irresistible attractiveness which persuasively raises the temperature in every corner of the stage – or living room if that’s where you’re watching.
