A child lived in the ashes...
So begins Angela Carter's magical retelling of one of the oldest and best-loved of all the Christmas stories. Amidst the velvet curtains, the cardboard scenery and all the faded glitter of Panto-land a rich and strange magic stirs... Midnight approaches, and that glass slipper is once again waiting for a very special foot...
Wicked humour, fantastical puppets and amazing design transform theatres into palaces of childhood dreams and fears.
