Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s dark fairytale about a pair of enchanted shoes that take their wearer to places she doesn’t want to go, The Red Shoes shows at RSC’s The Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon until Sunday 19 January.
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 the chance to do and be so much more, but soon her feet betray her, taking her to places she does not wish to go.
This Christmas, get up close to the magic as playwright Nancy Harris brings Hans Christian Andersen’s dark fairy tale into the 21st century in the intimate surroundings of the Swan Theatre.
Directed by Kimberley Rampersad (Associate Artistic Director of the Shaw Festival, Canada) in her RSC debut, The Red Shoes is both wickedly funny and a cautionary tale of pride, vanity and how we all deserve to dance how we wish to dance.
We are offering one lucky reader the chance to win four tickets to see the 1pm matinee on Saturday 11 January.
Competition closes Friday 3 January.
