A new ballet inspired by the life and works of Florence Nightingale is coming to the city.
Nightingale, an original production from New Creations Collective, is the first professional dance show to explore the life of the nurse.
Audiences will experience Florence’s journey from her family home to the battlefield in the family friendly, open-air production, building on NCC’s track record of outdoor performances which include The Secret Garden in 2021 and 2022.
Through live music and dance, the show will take audiences on a moving journey into Nightingale’s story of struggle and success.
