Sarah Crompton was born in Manchester and educated at Oxford and Cardiff. She is dance critic and arts editor in chief of the Daily Telegraph.
A fascinating guide to the state of contemporary dance in Britain -
Reading Crompton's thoughtful, immensely knowledgeable descriptions
of the conception and production of successful works as diverse as
Sylvie Guillem and Russell Maliphant's astonishing Push and Matthew
Bourne's witty Nutcracker feels like having an informed chat with
her in the interval - on almost every page of Sadler's Wells: Dance
House there is a description of a performance that makes one want
to race to buy tickets for something - anything - at Sadler's
Wells; there cannot be a higher recommendation for the book.
