Cinderella
by Christine Angell

4 - 18 January 2003

Once upon a time there was a beautiful, fun-loving girl called Cinderella. Poor Cinderella - she had a really hard time having to do all the housework in the big house, having to be at the beck and call of her hateful ugly stepsisters - Lavinia and Letitia. Cinderella has two true friends, Buttons and Mistress Hermione.

The Prince has his own problems, not least the fact he really cannot find a girl to marry - well at least not one who hasn't been hit by the ugly stick! His good friend, Danidini has to keep the Prince on the straight and narrow.

Mix all this together with a Fairy Godmother who gets the occasional spell wrong, a couple of hilarious villains and the extremely talented boys and girls of the chorus and you had simply the best pantomime of 2003 - Cinderella.

Old and young, came to Hiss and Boo and sing along. The story was a classic and the characters were larger than life, and twice as funny.
