Fabulously creepy...delightfully sinister...The Red Shoes barely puts a foot wrong. --WhatsOnStage

When an orphaned young woman is taken in by some local do-gooders, she is expected to be seen and not heard. Dazzled by a pair of beautiful shoes, she sees in them an opportunity to shine--but soon her feet betray her, taking her to places she does not wish to go.

Nancy Harris's version of The Red Shoes is a contemporary retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's extraordinary fairytale of dance, desire, and destruction.
