Description

Digital poster and newspaper review for The Red Shoes from New Adventures, led by director and choreographer Matthew Bourne.

What's the story?

With inspirational director and choreographer Matthew Bourne at the helm, New Adventures has been telling stories and creating iconic and ground-breaking dance theatre since 1986. As a regular visitor to the Theatre Royal, the company always draws sell-out audiences.
As stated on their website, their company values indicate their passion to engage audiences at theatres, such as the Theatre Royal:
‘Our audiences are why we do what we do. Entertaining and engaging audiences is our passion. We proudly tour to more venues and give more performances each year than any other dance company in the UK. We strive to be widely accessible and welcoming to both our loyal and new audiences.’
Premiering at the Theatre Royal Plymouth in November 2016, Matthew Bourne’s dance production of The Red Shoes is based on the classic 1948 film by Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger, based in turn on the classic tale by Hans Christian Anderson.
The 9 March 2017 review from the Newark Advertiser of the Theatre Royal’s opening night, describes The Red Shoes as “dynamic and tragic” with “a standing ovation by an appreciative audience”.
