Cinderella at Stephen Joseph Theatre

Nick Lane takes another classic fairy tale and turns it on its head this Christmas!If ever a young girl needed a break, its Cinderella. She never gets a day off. She sleeps in the cellar and her clothes have more holes than clothes. And what of her dreams of freedom and adventure? Well, theyre just dreams.Until one nightA deranged trainee fairy with a wonky wand turns up at the wrong house, utterly lost and eager to please. Next thing you know, shes turning rodents into horses, lizards into servants and shoes into glass. Hang on, glass shoes!? Whose side is she on?!But Cinders has the chance to be the belle of the ball as long as shes back before midnight. Will she get the adventure shes always dreamed of? Or will her sisters spoil the perfect Christmas party?This year the team that sailed you to Treasure Island, that took you up the Beanstalk and down the rabbit hole to Wonderland invite you to a madcap adventure filled with dastardly deeds, nutty mice and a pumpkin with a mind of its own! Therell be songs, silliness and festive fun by the carriage-load.Book before midnight to avoid being turned into a pumpkin!Socially Distanced PerformancesWe understand that some audience members may feel more comfortable attending a performance with more space between themselves and other audience members, so we are pleased to offer a selection of socially distanced performances across the run of Cinderella.
