A charming story of three sisters’ journey into the world of performing arts.
Ballet Shoes by Kendall Fever is a charming adaptation of Noel Streatfield's well-loved children's novel, also known through a film adaptation starring Emma Watson, Eileen Atkins and Victoria Wood. The National Theatre adaptation returns to the stage in November 2025.
The play tells the story of three orphaned sisters (Pauline, Petrova and Posy) as they strive for their aspirations in the world of creativity and performing arts. Their home is one of fossils, not just because their Uncle Gum is a palaeontologist, but also because, in adopting them, he made their surname Fossil. Other characters include their guardian Sylvia, their dear Nana and some other lively and varied houseguests.
