Matthew Bourne's Cinderella

Matthew Bourne's Cinderella moves the fairy tale to London in 1940. Cinderella keeps house for her stepmother Sybil and a family with little use for her, until a wounded RAF pilot, Harry, arrives at the door. A guardian angel in white sends the pair to the Cafe de Paris, the West End nightclub where they dance through a single night before a direct hit tears them apart, leaving Cinderella to search a bombed city with one shoe to go on.

The production is choreographed and directed by Matthew Bourne, whose Swan Lake won Olivier and Tony Awards, and is danced to Sergei Prokofiev's score. Set and costume design is by Olivier Award-winner Lez Brotherston, with lighting by Olivier Award-winner Neil Austin, video by Duncan McLean and sound by Paul Groothuis. First seen in 1997 and back for its 30th anniversary, it is a love story told entirely in dance, set on one of the most famous nights of the Blitz.
