Ballet Shoes at the National Theatre

Returning for a second Christmas season, Ballet Shoes at the National Theatre is a charming festive treat for the whole family. This sumptuous adaptation of Noel Streatfield’s 1936 classic, directed by Katy Rudd, will be live from the 17th November.

The story follows the eccentric household of Great Uncle Matthew, a palaeontologist and confirmed bachelor, whose life is upended when he becomes guardian to three spirited orphaned girls against a backdrop of classy sets, meticulous direction, and festive cheer. While not destined to be an all-time classic, it’s a delightful, Christmassy night out, offering warmth, humour, and a touch of magic for families visiting London this season.
