We discover Violet and Leonard in a hotel room during the war — April 1942 in fact — the night before he is due to be shipped off.

As with all of Wayne McGregor’s new works, DEEPSTARIA has been a hotly awaited dance piece with its much vaunted dark voids and mysterious spaces igniting an anticipatory buzz and collective salivation among dance aficionados. Sadly, what was presented at Sadler’s Wells Thursday evening opener, was a ponderous primordial soup which managed to plumb the depths of tedium, irrespective of the dancers’ best efforts.
