Don't go to Cinderella at Greenwich Theatre expecting a winsome or even wimpy female character in the kitchen. She may be downtrodden by her circumstances but this Cinders is no damsel in distress. And she's more than capable of taking the Fairy's wise advice: 'There is one person who can help you most of all. You!' BroadwayWorld has a first look at this year's Cinderella panto below!

C.S.Lewis' timeless story The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is a perfect fit for the festive season. It has had several stage reincarnations over the years and the fact that it has been revisited again at the Birmingham Rep is a testament to its appeal. The theatre last staged the show in 2009 as a co-production with West Yorkshire Playhouse whom presented the original production in both 2004 and 2007 to critical acclaim. This year it is solely produced by Birmingham Repertory Theatre Company and directed by Tessa Walker, who returns after directing A Christmas Carol at the theatre in 2013.

Birmingham Repertory Theatre is off to Narnia this Christmas with a magical adaptation of C. S. Lewis's much-loved novel, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe from 20 November to 16 January.
