A Twisted Tale of Cinderella©
A more ‘staged’ play with a variety of wild, quasi-Medieval costumes. Cinderella is no demure miss but a tom-boyish, clumsy bookworm with a penchant for practical jokes. The ‘Charm Boy’ Prince prefers sweatpants and mixing his own music to fancy balls in a tux. Will the acting Fairy Godperson ever get his spells right and earn his coveted diploma – or can he even get the 2 young folks to meet? How hideous are the considerably masculine Step-mother and Grodwhicker, the step-sister with the smelly feet? 30 minute staged Playlet with numerous fabulous costumes, lots of physical schtick and suitable for all ages. (5 actors in a variety of glorious quasi-Medieval costumes).
