The Red Shoes
USD $ 22,49

'What's wrong with wanting to dance?' When an orphaned young woman is taken in by some local do-gooders, she is expected to be seen and not heard. Dazzled by a pair of beautiful shoes, she sees in them an opportunity to shine – but soon her feet betray her, taking her to places she does not wish to go. Nancy Harris's version of The Red Shoes is a contemporary retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's extraordinary fairytale of dance, desire and destruction. It was first performed at the Gate Theatre, Dublin, in 2017 and revived in the version published here in 2024 at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, by the Royal Shakespeare Company, directed by Kimberley Rampersad.

Hans Christian Andersen

Autor original

Hans Christian Andersen (Odense, 1805 - Copenhague, 1875). Poeta y escritor danés. El más célebre de los escritores románticos daneses fue hombre de origen humilde y formación esencialmente autodidacta, en quien influyeron poderosamente las lecturas de Goethe, Schiller y E.T.A. Hoffmann. En 1819, a los catorce años, Andersen viajó a Copenhague persiguiendo el sueño de triunfar como dramaturgo. El escaso éxito de sus obras teatrales y su insaciable curiosidad lo impulsaron a viajar por diversos países, entre ellos Alemania, Francia, Italia, Grecia, Turquía, Suecia, España y el Reino Unido, y a anotar sus impresiones en interesantes cuadernos y libros de viaje. Inspirándose en tradiciones populares y narraciones mitológicas extraídas de fuentes alemanas y griegas, así como de experiencias particulares, entre 1835 y 1872 escribió 168 cuentos protagonizados por personajes de la vida diaria, héroes míticos, animales y objetos animados.
