Released in 2022, Highland Fling is a notable film directed by Matthew Bourne, running about 115 minutes. “A Romantic Wee Ballet” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. A romantic wee ballet – Matthew Bourne’s acclaimed reworking of the classic romantic ballet La Sylphide. Highland Fling tells the story of James, a young Glaswegian who is lured from his nuptial bed by an unearthly siren. As his love for this beautiful ‘Sylph’ becomes an obsession, he embarks on a journey that takes him from the mean streets and nightclubs of Glasgow into a magical world beyond. This gothic fable of winged fairies and kilted ladies - filled with all the wild excesses of romanticism - has been given an ingenious make-over by Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures and is packed with all their trademark wit, magic and wicked humour.
Who’s in it. Highland Fling stars Grace Horler as Madge, Barnaby Rook Bishop as James, Roseanna Leney as Effie and Amy Mcentee as Sylph.
