In this bleak fairytale, a kind and good-natured learned man on vacation sends his shadow to investigate a balcony across the street. When his shadow never returns, he notices that he has grown a new one and figures all is well. However, five years later, he meets his original shadow, and it is now corporeal-but it doesn't share his principles. As the shadow grows in strength, the man weakens, raising the question of whether good always triumphs over evil.

Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish writer and author of many notable books including The Snow Queen. He specialized in writing fairytales that were inspired by tales he had heard as a child. As his writing evolved his fairytales became more bold and out of the box. Andersen's stories have been translated into more than 125 languages and have inspired many plays, films and ballets.

Emma Fenney is a professional actor and voice artist who is particularly interested in Shakespeare and classical adaptations. She trained as an actor at Drama Studio London after earning her degree in drama and theatre arts at Goldsmiths College, University of London.
