Set in London during the Second World War, Matthew Bourne’s interpretation of Prokofiev’s haunting score has, at its heart, a true wartime romance. A chance meeting results in a magical night for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot, 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 heartstopping and touching, creating a unique and unforgettable depiction of a familiar and beloved fable. Matthew Bourne has achieved worldwide artistic success with his imaginative new stagings of popular classics such as Swan Lake, The Car Man, Nutcracker!, Dorian Gray and Edward Scissorhands.
