Cinderella

The Cresset, May 25

Vienna Festival Ballet presents the classic tale of Cinderella, one of the best-known rags-to-riches fairy tales of all time. A mistreated young girl, a glass slipper, two comical ugly step-sisters and a handsome prince combine to make the perfect piece of story-telling. This production, based on the traditional story, is a combination of pure classical dancing and a touch of pantomime. The music contains Rossini’s most famous operatic achievements arranged for Vienna Festival Ballet.

It’s 2005 at Royal Ascot and four local factory girls decide to ditch their hairnets, don their best party dresses (and ‘designer’ hats) and go along to experience a taste of the high life. As the champagne flows, the four ladies discover new things about old friends, meet new friends, uncover secrets and share an unforgettable experience. You can bet that their lives will never be quite the same again. Amanda Whittington’s highly successful comedy has a wonderful mix of humour and heart.
