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.

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.

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).
