London 1940. The Blackout. A siren sounds…..

New Adventures return to Hull New Theatre with the 30th Anniversary celebration of one of their most popular and beloved productions, Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella. This is a thrilling and evocative love story, set in London during the Second World War. Bourne’s epic interpretation of the classic fairytale has at its heart, a true war time 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.
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 story telling had never been more heart stopping and touching, creating a unique and unforgettable depiction of a familiar but timeless fable.
