A classic story that has been repeated throughout history in a variety of renditions, the 2013 version of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s now makes its European premiere in Manchester at the Hope Mill Theatre.

One of the most impressive details about this production of Cinderella is how visually striking it is. With their previous productions, the Hope Mill Theatre have become known for pushing the boundaries of what can be possible in a relatively small and unconventional space and Cinderella pushes that even further, with clever set design from Ellie Wdowski, a 4.5m diameter revolving stage and surround stage from The Revolving Stage Company and an ingenious use of video projection, designed by George Reeve.
