Production History
The Mary Surefoot Shoe Collection
Ten people inside a shoe box with one very enthusiastic and obsessive collector.
Watch as stilettos morph into opera singers, boots turn into boats and runners are revealed as space ships! Welcome to the fantastical world that is The Mary Surefoot Shoe Collection.
Put your foot in another’s shoe as Mary takes you to the moon, to exotic Japan and aboard a tall ship sailing on a far sea…each step of the way she’ll share a little of the personality who filled each pair.
A special blend of polished puppetry that leaves no sole unturned! Bring a friend whose idea of heaven is a new pair of shoes.
