Casting has been announced for a sparkling new adaptation of Cinderella at Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre from 2-31 December.

Eve De Leon Allen, David Fallon, Lucy Keirl, Roger Parkins and Sarah Pearman will be directed by Gemma Fairlie in Nick Lane’s new version of the classic story, which also features music and lyrics by Simon Slater and design by Helen Coyston.

If ever a young girl needed a break, it’s Cinderella. She never gets a day off. She sleeps in the cellar and her clothes have more holes than clothes. And what of her dreams of freedom and adventure? Well, they’re just dreams.

Until one night…

A trainee fairy with a wonky wand turns up at the wrong house, utterly lost and eager to please. Next thing you know, she’s turning rodents into horses, lizards into servants and shoes into glass. Hang on, glass shoes!? Whose side is she on?!

But Cinders has the chance to be the belle of the ball… as long as she’s back before midnight. Will she get the adventure she’s always dreamed of? Or will her sisters spoil the perfect Christmas party?
