“There was an old woman who lived in a shoe” is an old English nursery rhyme, first published in Joseph Gurton’s “Gamma Gurton’s Garland” in 1784.

The idea of an old woman who lives in a shoe could mean anything. Old women (like old men) and shoes have been around for 5,000 years or more. So, the rhyme could mean anything.

Despite being a brand-new production that's still finding its footing, The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe marks outgoing Artistic Director Kim Selody's final show in his current role.
