So how do you stage in dance a story that historically is so dependent on dialogue? Well, like the Houston Ballet, you can call in the big guns: The choreography is taken from the original 1969 staging by John Cranko, who was known for combining classically based dance with excellent acting. 7:30 p.m. on June 9. Show runs through June 19. Wortham Theater Center, 501 Texas.
