The Red Shoes (NHB Modern Plays)

An orphan girl, adopted by a wealthy Dublin family, is given a pair of beautiful red shoes. At first it appears her dreams have come true... but appearances can be very deceptive.

A contemporary retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's extraordinary fairytale of dance, desire and destruction, premiered at the Gate Theatre, Dublin, in November 2017.
