Full of silliness, and slapstick, music and fun, this is the perfect choice for families looking for alternative festive entertainment this Christmas. Read more …
It’s nearly time for the Prince’s ball, but poor Cinderella is working her fingers to the bone in the cold and dark kitchens thanks to her cruel and greedy step-sisters’ nasty tricks. Luckily, Cinderella has the help of some new friends, and a little magic, to help her get to the ball and win the heart of the Prince. But does her heart’s true desire lie closer to home?
Dominic Hill’s pitch-perfect Citizens’ production gives this magnificent Christmas show its full value.
Dominic Hill's production conjures up a darkly comic dreamscape punctuated by live piano and percussion.
If the ten-strong cast brings enormous energy and commitment without compromising on narrative clarity, the other elements of Hill’s rich production are just as strong and compelling.
Ultimately, Dominic Hill's direction triumphs and the inventive script by Paterson is allowed light, shade and some utterly surreal moments.
A near perfect balance between quality family theatre and festive fun.
Citizens' Theatre, Glasgow from Tuesday November 28, 2017, until Sunday December 31, 2017. More info: www.citz.co.uk
