Cinderella: A Fairytale Jane Eyre Part One - The Orphan Child Released Jane Eyre Part Two - The Impossible Love Monster In The Room, A Peter Pan Treasure Island We're Going On A Bear HuntCinderella: A Fairytale
A brand new version of one of the oldest, best loved fairytales of all time. When a rich man s wife dies, his daughter Ella mourns her beloved mother with a grief as deep as the snow on her grave. Before the spring sun has time to melt it, her father takes a second wife and their peaceful life is taken over by a host of new and unpleasant relations. Her only friends are the woodland birds who roost in the tree that grows over the grave, but they are no ordinary birds. . . With their quirky visual style, crystal-clear storytelling, original live music and pitch-perfect ensemble acting, director Sally Cookson and team bring this classic tale of fortunes reversed startlingly and imaginatively to life.
