RAWD presents If The Shoe Fits

RAWD bring If The Shoe Fits to the Garret Theatre at Storyhouse on Saturday 28 November, a family-friendly pantomime that takes the Cinderella story and moves it into a shoe shop. It's a RAWD original, so it's built from the ground up rather than being a standard remake.

In this version, Cinderella is worked to the bone at Heelz shoe shop. She gets a dream makeover for the Staff Christmas Party with the help of three shopping-obsessed Furry Godmothers, but once she's dressed up, she doesn't quite feel like herself. When she leaves a shoe behind, it sends the Prince searching every aisle of the shop to find her. Along the way, the story pulls in sassy siblings, food court chaos and silly security guards, so it's as much about the shop floor as it is about the fairy tale.

There's a bit of background to the company that's worth knowing, too. RAWD has spent over a decade co-creating joyful, inclusive spaces where disabled artists can thrive, and they host weekly sessions at Storyhouse that work their way up to full theatre productions like this one. That's the context behind the show: it's a production that comes out of a regular, ongoing creative practice right here in the building.

It's a family-friendly one, so it works as a trip out with kids. The performance is at 2pm on Saturday 28 November in the Garret Theatre at Storyhouse, with standard tickets at £8 and a reduced price of £6 for under 16s and over 60s.
