Based on the classic story by Hans Christian Andersen, adapted and directed by Emma Rice.

Inspired by the Hans Christian Anderson fairytale, Kneehigh’s award winning The Red Shoes is unmissable theatre. It is a surreal, dark, thrilling, and humourous folk-tale of a girl and the deadly consequences of her obsession with a pair of magical red dancing shoes.

Direct from successful seasons in New York and London, Director Emma Rice says the Kneehigh Theatre’s adaptation of The Red Shoes is a world apart from previous versions of the fairytale, complete with an alternate ending.

“It’s a stranger, darker tale than I remembered, rich with colour, taste and temptation.,” Rice says.

“The girl in the story is punished in all the versions I have read but I can’t inflict that fate on my heroine so I’ve proposed another way - one rich with possibilities and hope, heady with dance and calm with stillness.”

The fairytale’s contemporary makeover is completed by an outstanding collaborative score by Kneehigh’s Stu Barker with Offenbach, Phillip Glass, and even Jurassic 5.

“This is intensely charismatic theatre about what it is to be alive…5 stars” The Guardian UK
