The production will run at the National Theatre’s Olivier space from the 23rd November.
It has been announced that Kendall Feaver (The Almighty Sometimes) will adapt Noel Streatfeild’s best-selling book Ballet Shoes for the stage, heading to the National Theatre later this year.
In a crumbling house full of dinosaur bones and fossils, three adopted sisters – Pauline, Petrova and Posy – are learning who they are and what they want to be.
Under the watchful eyes and guidance of their guardian Sylvia, Nana, and some unlikely lodgers, they fight to pursue their individual passions. But in a world that wasn’t built for women with big ambitions, can they forge a future, keep their family together, and even learn a dance or two along the way?
The production is set to be directed by Katy Rudd, who returns to the National Theatre having previously directed The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
While casting has yet to be announced, the creative team is also set to include: set design by Frankie Bradshaw, costume design by Samuel Wyer, choreography by Ellen Kane, composition by Asaf Zohar, lighting design by Paule Constable, sound design by Ian Dickinson and casting by Bryony Jarvis-Taylor.
