This year’s festive family treat at the National Theatre is Ballet Shoes - a vivid reimagining of Noel Streatfeild's novel, retaining the original spirit while incorporating modern sensibilities.
Under Katy Rudd's direction, this joyful production brings to life a play that mirrors the essence of the book, showcasing the atmosphere of 1930s London with a contemporary twist.
The adaptation by Kendall Feaver emphasizes dramatic storytelling through set pieces instead of traditional musical numbers, blending light, movement, and story-telling to create a rich theatrical experience.
With endearing performances from actors like Justin Salinger as the spirited Matthew Brown and the three sisters, Pauline, Petrova, and Posey, the play captures a variety of themes including family and adventure.
