About Cinderella

Cinderella at Sadler’s Wells Theatre is New Adventures’ 30th Anniversary celebration of Matthew Bourne’s production of the classic fairytale. Set in London during the Second World War, it tells a wartime love story about Cinderella and a young RAF pilot whose chance meeting leads to a brief romance before they are separated by the Blitz.

The production brings together Lez Brotherston’s Olivier Award-winning designs, Neil Austin’s Olivier Award-winning lighting, Duncan McLean’s video and projection design, and Paul Groothuis’s sound design, set to Prokofiev’s score. It is presented as a vivid portrayal of war-time London and a familiar story told in an updated setting.

Duration: 2 hours 20 minutes, including 2 intervals.
