Just a quick post today to say that the National Theatre’s new version of Ballet Shoes is back from tomorrow (17 November). I saw it back in February and loved it, and I’m so pleased they’ve decided to bring it back for Christmas. I’ve been recommending it to people as a family show that’s not a panto for the holidays. And of course if you haven’t read the original book, I re-read it after seeing the show and it’s still a joy.
Verity Reads Books (lots of them) 
I was hoping that they’d take it on tour, but they haven’t 😦 .
It has quite a big and complex set – it needs a big space I think. But maybe they’ll tour it after this Christmas run? It’s done really well for them. I am tempted to go back, but I’m averaging a show a week for the next few weeks already!
