Poor old Cinders. Her mother`s gone, her father`s broke, the house is falling down and now a Royal Tax Demand has arrived! Whatever will she do? Read more …
Help seems to be at hand when a wealthy widow offers to marry the Baron. Except Cinders`s new stepmother, the sinister Ivana, has secret plans for the Hardup's home . . . something to do with a luxury golf resort. Even worse, she installs her two disgusting daughters at Hardup Hall and expects Cinders to wait on them hand and foot!
With a wave of her wand, the mysterious Fairy Godmother offers to rescue Cinders from her plight and send her off to the glittering Royal Ball. But what will happen when the clock strikes midnight? Will Cinders find the prince of her dreams? Will Ivana and the gruesome twosome be vanquished? Will true love conquer all?
With dazzling sets and amazing costumes, magical transformations and a glittering finale, a large cast of colourful characters and the ugliest of Uglies, PFT`s first ever pantomime will be a sell-out winter spectacular!
So make sure you don`t miss Pitlochry`s very own fun-filled family panto - grab your pumpkins and mice and prepare for a new highlight of the Festive season!
There's a fine sense of fulfilment about this year's first-ever Pitlochry pantomime, directed with flair and feeling by the theatre's current boss John Durnin, and delivered with fine festive goodwill by a top-flight ensemble company who know one another well from recent Pitlochry summer seasons.
This is slick, no-nonsense (but full of nonsense) traditional fare.
