London’s National Theatre will stage a world premiere of a new adaptation of Noel Streatfeild’s best-selling book Ballet Shoes this fall. The production promises to bring the beloved story to life on stage with talented creatives including set design by Frankie Bradshaw, costume design by Samuel Wyer, choreography by Ellen Kane, composition by Asaf Zohar, lighting design by Paule Constable, sound design by Ian Dickinson, and casting by Bryony Jarvis-Taylor.
The show follows the story of three adopted sisters – Pauline, Petrova, and Posy – who live in a crumbling house full of dinosaur bones and fossils under the care of their guardians Sylvia, Nana, and some unexpected lodgers. The sisters embark on a journey to discover their identities and pursue their individual passions.
Directed by Katy Rudd, who previously directed The Ocean at the End of the Lane at the National Theatre, audiences can expect an ambitious and family-friendly production that promises to be both festive and entertaining. Tickets for Ballet Shoes will be available to the general public starting on May 2. For more information and to purchase tickets visit NationalTheatre.org.uk.
