THE Young Colwall Players return to the stage after a break of several years with a new take on the classic fairy tale Cinderella.
The production brings together a cast of all ages when Colwall Players and Young Colwall Players join forces in an energetic, theatrical retelling of the Brothers Grimm version of the much-loved story.
When Ella’s mother dies she is brought up by her devoted and loving father who teaches her the names and calls of the woodland birds that surround their home.
But when her father marries again, Ella’s peaceful life is turned upside down by a host of new and unpleasant relations. It appears her only allies are the feathered friends who roost in the trees, but they are no ordinary birds. This is a Cinderella for all seasons and all ages that gets right to the heart of the story and offers its own delicious and surprising twists.
Cinderella: A Fairytale, Sally Cookson and Adam Peck’s award-winning production, will be performed at Colwall Village Hall, Mill Lane, on Thursday-Saturday, February 16-18, at 7pm, directed by Claire Farley.
Tickets £9 (under-16s £5) are available from John Goodwin’s Colwall office in Walwyn Road or on 01684 540300.
