The Pointy Slippers tells the story of THE WOMAN, who has hidden the physical discomfort of her new shoes from her date, causing the pain to build, which ultimately leads to destruction.
AGE RANGE 25-36
DESCRIPTION OF THE CHARACTER
She is a classic young beauty – reserved and elegant, until she starts to see blisters forming on her feet. Her eyes speak louder than words as these wounds get increasingly worse. Her facial expressions are dramatic and she is covering a wide range of emotions in one scene. THE WOMAN tries to conceal the pain she is in, however, when her date looks away, she reacts in terror. The blisters on her feet grow and increase her mania, causing a full mental and physical breakdown at end of the film.
