The Red Shoes
Directed by Emma Rice
Based on poetry by Anna Maria Murphy

Our girl can’t resist her red shoes. They make her dance with delight, spin with possibilities. But what happens when she can’t get them off? What happens when she can’t stop dancing?

Surreal and sensuous, quirky and profound, bloody and bare – Cornwall’s Kneehigh bring you a menacing cabaret where anything is possible and nothing is probable. With music to make your toes twitch, images to make your mouth water and a story to make your heart pound, the menacing world of the fairy story is revealed.
