The National Theatre's masterpiece returns!
Three sisters, three big dreams and one extraordinary adventure! The acclaimed National Theatre production of Ballet Shoes is coming to Sadler's Wells in a spectacular stage adaptation of Noel Streatfeild's beloved novel. Starring Anton Du Beke (Strictly Come Dancing) as Great Uncle Matthew, this magical reimagining has been nominated for three Olivier Awards, including Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play, Best Set Design and Outstanding Musical Contribution.
Ballet Shoes is adapted for the stage by award-winning playwright Kendall Feaver and directed by Katy Rudd (The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, Nanny McPhee).
In a once-grand house cluttered with relics of the past, three sisters are discovering themselves and the people they want to become. Adopted into an unconventional family, the girls do everything they can to pursue their dreams. But as they strive to carve out their places in a society not ready to embrace ambitious young women, will their sisterly bond and unbreakable spirit carry them through?
