Ballet Shoes is set in a crumbling house full of dinosaur bones and fossils, where 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?
Ballet Shoes is now playing in the Olivier theatre of the National Theatre until 22 February 2025.
