Cinderella

About Cinderella

Cinderella at Sadler’s Wells Theatre is New Adventures’ 30th Anniversary celebration of Matthew Bourne’s production. Set in London during the Second World War, it reworks the classic fairytale as a wartime love story, beginning with a chance meeting between Cinderella and a young RAF pilot and following the pair through a brief period of happiness before the realities of the Blitz intervene.

The production features Lez Brotherston’s Olivier Award-winning designs, lighting by Olivier Award-winning Neil Austin, video and projection designs by Duncan McLean, and sound design by Paul Groothuis. Bourne’s storytelling places the action against the sights and sounds of war-torn London and Prokofiev’s score.

This is a 30th Anniversary production from New Adventures.

Duration: 2 hours 20 minutes, including 2 intervals.
