The Red Shoes

Red shoes. Don't you just love them? They make you dance with delight and spin with possibilities. Your tapping toes teeter on the top of the world. But what happens when you can't stop dancing? What happens when you lose your footing? Would you dare to turn to the butcher to rid you of your heart-stoppingly beautiful red shoes? That's just what our desperate heroine is compelled to do. Adapted from Hans Christian Andersen's tale, this freshly revived production of The Red Shoes is passionate, irreverent, funny and rude. Like a gust of salty sea air, this award-winning piece fuses live and recorded sound, visually and physically powerful images and a story to make your heart pound. Kneehigh remains a weather beaten force to be reckoned with.
