Cinderella
Directed by Allie White
Cinderella dates back over a thousand years and has evolved greatly from what was once a story about a Greek slave girl becoming an Egyptian queen. Over time, elements of romance and magic have crept into the story, although it has kept the original themes of servitude, oppression and a rise to power.
​
The Cinderella of recent years tells the tale of a poor young girl, pushed into menial work by her evil stepsisters and stepmother, only to be rescued by magic and a man.
​
The Mendip Players tell the story our own way - keeping it modern, contextual and empowering!
