The favourite rags-to-riches children's classic, Cinderella, is given a new twist at the Unicorn Theatre this Christmas as My Parents are Aliens writer Phil Porter reworks the tale of the missing glass slipper for today's young audience. Phil's previous plays for kids include last year's hit The Flying Machine, The Cracks in my Skin and Smashed Eggs for which he won the Arts Council Children's Award in 2003. In this version we find Cinderella doing her best to bail out the family business, a floating retirement home for magicians. One day her Dad happily announces he has found a new wife but Mrs Yarg and her mean daughters are not at all what Cinderella was hoping for. No production of Cinderella would be complete without the ball scene where the poor put-upon girl gets to wear her glittering gown and - happily for the traditionalists - that's included here. A humourous take on a much-loved tale. And, on certain Family Days (13th, 20th and 27th December and 3rd, 17th and 24th January) you can enjoy a 90-minute workshop before the performance then meet some of the cast afterwards.
Ages 6+
