Ballet Shoes

The National Theatre’s big family Christmas show is the first ever major stage adaptation of Noel Streatfeild’s classic 1936 children’s novel. ‘Ballet Shoes’ follows a trio of very different adopted sisters raised in the home of an absent-minded palentologist who turn to ballet to make a living when their adopted father Gum fails to return from a lengthy expedition. Adapted by rising star Australian playwright Kendall Feaver and directed by Katy Rudd – who did the honours with the NT’s smash ‘The Ocean at the End of the Lane’ – the cast will be led by Melanie-Joyce Bermudez, Grace Saif and Daisy Sequerra as Petrova, Pauline and Posy Fossil, the three sisters.
