London. 1941. The Blitz. Blackout and sirens...
New Adventures' CINDERELLA takes on a thrilling and evocative journey through war torn London.
Matthew Bourne's interpretation of Prokofiev's haunting score has, at its heart, a true wartime romance. A chance meeting results in a magical night for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot, together just long enough to fall in love before being parted by the horrors of the Blitz.
With award-winning designs from Lez Brotherston and sensational lighting by Rick Fisher, CINDERELLA is both a tribute and a testement to the spirit of London during a time when every second counted and lives were changed forever. Bourne's vivid storytelling has never been more heart-stopping and touching, creating a unique and unforgettable depiction of a familiar and beloved fable.
