Cinderella

Kathleen Turner heads a starry international cast in Beeban Kidron’s 50s version of the classic fairytale.

Set in the stately homes of England and on the Isle of Man, it stars Marcella Plunkett as an ideologically-sound heroine whose life takes a turn for the worse when her father returns from a business trip with a new wife (and two step-daughters) in tow. Suddenly Zezolla – or Cinderella as her new step family call her – is banished to the attic and forced to wait hand and foot on her preening relations.



This time there’s no pumpkin or fairy godmother on hand to help her, only a rosebush and Mab, the mysterious Lady of the Lake. But Cinderella does get to go to the ball, and there she meets Prince Valiant, a guitar-playing royal keener on tearing through the fields on his motorbike than chatting up young ladies. Until he meets Cinderella in her fabulous ocean dress, that is. A fairytale fit for grown-ups.
