The Red Shoes - 9 February 2011

One woman's legs and feet in a pair of red clogs.

For its last ever UK performances, one of Kneehigh’s best loved and award winning shows, The Red Shoes, returns to the stage where it received its London premiere in 2000. Passionate, funny, bloody and surreal, The Red Shoes re-imagines Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairytale about a girl possessed by a pair of red shoes who can’t stop dancing. In trademark Kneehigh style, the production fuses dance, live music, striking visuals and compelling story telling to bring the tale to life.

The square sign outside the front of the building

This spring, BAC celebrates its 30th anniversary with two events that reflect the wide role the venue has played in ‘inventing the future’ of British theatre during the last three decades. Kneehigh’s award winning production The Red Shoes returns to BAC for its last ever London staging, and the ONE-ON-ONE Festival of theatre for one audience member at a time is remounted following its phenomenal success in 2010. The 30th anniversary will also see the launch of Artist Bedrooms, created by artists for artists, enabling them to live at the venue for residencies of up to four months at a time.

The Great Escape (A Borrower's Tale) - 29 October 2010

Two children - a boy and a girl - are wearing white lab coats and wearing big black glasses.

Explorers aged 6 -11 are needed to join a secret agency and take part in an intriguing mission, using their super sleuth skills to uncover evidence for the existence of Borrowers (the small people who live under the floorboards). Based on The Borrowers by Mary Norton, The Great Escape (A Borrower’s Tale) will lead children on a fully supervised adventure through BAC’s beautiful Victorian building on a quest for Bob the Borrower, discovering tiny clues and helping him escape the evil clutches of the KBD movement (Keep Borrowers Down).

The Animals and Children Took to the Streets - 22 September 2010

A woman is standing against a screen, on which hands are circling her pointing.

1927 invite you to a dystopian metropolis of inner city paranoia. Seamlessly synchronizing live music, performance and storytelling with stunning films and animation this is the wickedly twisted new tale from the multiple award-winning company behind BAC’s 2009 Christmas hit Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.
