Matthew Bourne’s ‘Cinderella’
Directed for the screen by Ross MacGibbon, Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella is a thrilling and evocative love story set in London during the Second World War. A chance meeting results in a magical night for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot (danced by Sadler’s Wells Ashley Shaw and Andrew Monaghan), together just long enough to fall in love before being parted by the horrors of the Blitz. Bourne’s vivid storytelling has never been more heart-stopping and touching, and will take the audience into the heart of Prokofiev’s magnificent score. “A Valentine to the power of love” LA Times.
