CINDERELLA & THE BEANSTALK

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cinderella and the Beanstalk is a family Christmas pantomime, done the Sleeping Trees way! After writing the script, booking the venue, building a set and hiring a musician, the trio realise they've forgotten one vital component; a cast. The boys have no option but to perform the entire pantomime themselves, with only their dear friend Mark Newnham on piano for compny. 

 

A glorious cocktail of your favourite pantomimes! Follow Cinderella on a perilous adventure as the scheming Rumple Stiltskin blackmails the would-be princess into retrieving the coveted golden eggs from the top of the beanstalk.

Cinderella must complete her quest in order to recover her glass slipper, but with Prince Charming, the Fairy Godmother and Jack’s pregnant cow all doing their best to get in the way, these delicious, oversized eggs may not be so easily sought out…

"James Dunnell-Smith, Joshua George Smith and John Woodburn jump from character to character with a seemingly unnatural elasticity. It’s got a lot to do with relish, which they employ liberally, but they also come from a tradition of anarchic buffoonery that’s underpinned by a militantly controlled skill." ★★★★ - Time Out

 

"It abounds with heart and wit, is propelled with limitless energy from the three inventive actors who devised the piece...If you only see one Pantomime this season, see this one." ★★★★★ - British Theatre

 

" In place of smoke machines, trapdoors and extravagant effect-filled sword fights is a makeshift production that uses simple props and body language to deliver all the thrills and silliness that anybody old or young could want from a Christmas show." ★★★★★ - The Upcoming
