A London Eye capsule was turned into a temporary garden on Wednesday to mark the launch of Cityscapes, a summer-long programme of temporary gardens around the South Bank, Bankside and London Bridge.
With elaborate set designs, dozens of props (including a giant aubergine), video projection, puppetry, live music, song, dance and a cast of approximately 37 performers on stage each night, Wild Swans is an ambitious theatre production to say the least.
A theatrical tour de force, heightened by a visual spectacular conjured up by The Old Vic, which hides its weaknesses within a powerful mix of high drama and dark beauty.
