Cinderella

Alternative title: Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella
Synopsis: Set in London during the Second World War, the drama features Cinderella and a dashing young RAF pilot. Together just long enough to fall in love, they are parted by the horrors of the Blitz. Among the obstacles to their reunion is Cinderella’s sinister step-mother, while the Angel weaves his magic to protect our heroine.

Performed as part of the company’s 30th anniversary celebrations, Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella recreates on stage the sights and sounds of a war-torn London with the help of lighting designer Neil Austin and Duncan McLean’s video projections.
The DVD includes the new film, The Making of Cinderella, featuring interviews with cast members Ashley Shaw, Andrew Monaghan, Liam Mower and Michela Meazza as well as Matthew Bourne himself.
