Directed by Brian Logan, presented by Traverse Theatre Company in association with A Play, A Pie & A Pint
Following a raucous run at the Traverse in December 2025, Dancing Shoes returns with heart, humour and high-energy moves. Donny’s life has been shaped by addiction and isolation, but an unexpected friendship with Jay and Craig begins to change everything. When videos of Donny’s private dancing routines suddenly go viral, newfound attention threatens the bond they have built. A joyful and deeply moving story about connection, recovery and the courage to let yourself be seen.
This is a chance to see a new work-in-progress show from one of the most exciting writers from across the UK and Ireland, as part of our Shed Originals script development programme in partnership with Traverse Theatre.
