		Sylvie Guillem may be nearing 40 but the giddiness with which her Manon first tumbles onto the stage looks as fresh as any ingénue's.
		Anthony Dowell, as the latter, is reptilian and slightly camp, with, you suspect, a ghastly repertory of perversions.
		GM wants her loyalty, the Gaoler wants to be kissed as well as sexually serviced and the ferocity with which they punish Manon's physical disobedience is a measure of the fantasy they entertained of owning her spirit.
