Ballet Shoes: The Multi-Sensory Show Access Performances

Ballet Shoes: The Multi-Sensory Show’, is a multi-sensory adaptation of the National Theatre’s ‘Ballet Shoes’ for audiences with profound and multiple learning disabilities and their companions.


Ballet Shoes’ is a re-imagining of Noel Streatfeild’s beloved novel, in a new version by Kendall Feaver, originally directed by Katy Rudd.

Frozen Light has adapted the original show into an hour-long multi-sensory production specifically for audiences with profound and multiple learning disabilities. Six individuals and their companions are invited to join us on stage to experience the set and props of the original production up close as they immerse themselves in the story.

In a crumbling house full of dinosaur bones and fossils, three adopted siblings – Pauline, Petrova and Posy – are learning who they are and dreaming about what they want to be. Under the watchful eyes and guidance of their uncle, they fight to pursue their individual passions; but in a world that wasn’t built for young siblings with big ambitions, can they forge a future, keep their family together, and even learn a dance or two along the way?

With a Frozen Light cast.
