The Red Shoes
Date: Sunday 1st August
Time: 20:00
Based on the classic story by Hans Christian Andersen
Adapted and directed by Emma Rice
A story in One Act.
For Brave Children and Adults (8 plus)
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…
Each night, we bring you a cracked cabaret where anything is possible and nothing is probable. Surreal and sensuous, bloody and bare – the menacing and profound world of the fairy story is revealed.
Adapted from Hans Christian Andersen, 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 remain a weather beaten force to be reckoned with.
