Cinderella
Lyric Theatre, The Lowry, The Lowry
Wed, 19th January 2011 - Sat, 22nd January 2011
From £16.00*New Adventures, returns with a typically unique interpretation of the best loved fairy tale of all, Cinderella. Set in London during the Second World War, Matthew Bourne's interpretation of Prokofiev's haunting score has, at its heart, a true wartime romance. A chance meeting results in a magical night for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot, together just long enough to fall in love before being parted by the horrors of the Blitz. First seen in the West End in 1997, but now completely revised in this brand new production created to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the London Blitz. It features design by Lez Brotherston who won an Olivier award for his original designs, and new lighting designs by Neil Austin. The production will also feature sensational sound design by Paul Groothius which will take the audience into the heart of Prokofievs magnificent score and the sound world of war-torn London. CINDERELLA is both a tribute and a testament to the spirit of London during a time when every second counted and lives were changed forever. Bourne's vivid storytelling has never been more heart-stopping and touching, creating a unique and unforgettable depiction of a familiar and beloved fable. "A dazzling spectacle...fresh and vital, hilarious, profound and stunningly original” The Times "Heartbreaking. Takes one back to the core of the Cinderella story and Prokofiev’s score" Financial Times “Breathtaking choreography…the most thrilling stage experience in town” News Of The World
