About the show

Book Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella tickets: New Adventures sets the fairytale in wartime London, with Prokofiev’s score and striking design.

Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella tickets and regional UK dates

Matthew Bourne's Cinderella, produced by New Adventures, transplants the classic fairytale to Blitz-era London, where a chance meeting between a young woman and an RAF pilot unfolds against the urgency of wartime. The 30th Anniversary production visits Milton Keynes Theatre, Woking Theatre, Liverpool Empire and Theatre Royal Glasgow.

A fairytale reframed by war

Matthew Bourne sets his Cinderella amid the 1940 London Blitz. The romance is compressed by circumstance: two people meet, fall in love in a single evening, and are then separated by bombing raids. Prokofiev's score underpins the action, with Paul Groothuis's sound design bringing the noise and atmosphere of a city under attack into the auditorium.

Lez Brotherston provides the designs, with lighting by Neil Austin and video and projection design by Duncan McLean. ATG identifies Brotherston’s designs as Olivier Award-winning and Austin as an Olivier Award winner.

Audience considerations

The production carries a recommended age guidance of 8 and above. It depicts bombing raids, the destruction of buildings and air-raid sirens, realised through theatrical smoke and haze, strobe lighting, and loud sound effects. Anyone with sensitivity to those elements, regardless of age, may wish to take this into account before booking.
