The Red Shoes

Presented by Rep Studio 8, The Rep’s intensive training programme for emerging actors.

When an orphaned young woman is taken in by a wealthy family, she’s expected to keep her head down and her spirit quiet. But when she slips on a pair of dazzling red shoes, her world begins to spin and her hunger for life and freedom can no longer be contained.

Rep Studio 8 bring to life Nancy Harris’s bold, contemporary retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s dark fairy-tale of dance, desire and destruction.

An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
