Wonders Never Cease

‘What’s your first language? What language do you think in?’
‘Dance.’

London, 1986. Trix is a young ballerina striving to make a name for herself in a cut-throat world. Aleksander ‘Sander’ Sylvan is the company’s mysterious, meteoric rising star, whose talents are like nothing anyone has seen before.

An eleventh-hour illness among the cast of The Sleeping Beauty changes everything: Trix and Sander are thrown together in the lead roles. Soon, the pair become the company’s star attraction, their irresistible on-stage chemistry fuelling speculation about their private lives. Trix knows she’s falling for Sander, but relationships have always been difficult for her, and as they grow closer, she cannot help but wonder about his past. Who is Sander really? Why won’t he talk about his family, or where he comes from?

Then, on the opening night of Romeo and Juliet, disaster strikes. With Sander missing and only a cryptic note to guide her, Trix begins to wonder if the magic they created together onstage was more than just a fairy tale.

Perhaps something truly strange and wondrous has entered the mortal world…
