Evlyne Oyedokun as Ella in Cinderella A Fairytale.

NS Archive 2023: Cinderella A Fairytale

2 Dec – 6 Jan

Your wings already exist, all you have to do is learn to fly.

This Christmas, why not try a different kind of fairytale?  Feisty, fun, joyful and with some baddies that you’ll love to hate.

Ella misses her mother and father. Her step-mother is the worst, a horrible bully determined to make her life a misery.  Her step-brother and sister are no help.  Nature is her escape and the birds seem to be her only friends.

But, when she meets a boy in the woods who loves to bird watch too, her heart begins to flutter! Her mind races and she begins to believe in the magical power of love.

And then: an invitation, for all of us to join in the festive cheer at the Queen’s Christmas ball!

Full of music, dance and comedy, Cinderella is a retelling of this classical tale for anyone who has ever dreamed that good will always win.

Lace up your boots, make a wish and let’s join Ella for a glorious adventure.
