Red shoes. Don’t you just love them? They make you dance with delight and spin with possibilities.
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.
This production marks a decade of successful collaboration between Kneehigh and BAC since the show was first performed at BAC in 2000. Surreal and sensuous, bloody and bare – the menacing and profound world of the fairy story is revealed.
An award-winning piece from an acclaimed company. Passionate, irreverent, funny, and rude, The Red Shoes fuses live and recorded sound, visually and physically powerful images, and a story to make your heart pound.
'Surreal and political, haunting and brave... intensely charismatic' 5 STARS Guardian
'Delirious, witty, macabre... A show to die for' Guardian
Based on the classic story by Hans Christian Andersen. Adapted and directed by Emma Rice – winner of Best Director 2002 Barclays TMA award.
The UK tour of The Red Shoes kicks off in style with a five week run in Kneehigh’s brand new, brilliantly magical touring venue The Asylum. For dates and more information visit www.kneehigh.co.uk
