Playwright Nancy Harris brings Hans Christian Andersen’s dark fairy tale, The Red Shoes, into the 21st century in the intimate surroundings of the Swan Theatre, presented by Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC).

With direction and movement by Kimberley Rampersad (Associate Artistic Director of the Shaw Festival Theatre, Canada) in her RSC debut, The Red Shoes is both a magical story and cautionary tale of pride, vanity and how we all deserve to dance how we wish to dance.
