A Kiss for Cinderella On Demand
6 Jan - 6 JanOnce booked, available to watch online until midnight on the 6th of January 2025.
1916, London’s East End, where royal balls are hard to find, and even the Fairy Godmothers have joined the Red Cross. Below the Zeppelins, Cinderella’s kindhearted activities are being investigated by an unsympathetic Policeman.
Does King Geroge V even know he’s hosting a ball tonight? Who are Cinderella’s unexplained house-guests? Are there enough baked potatoes to go round? All good questions which our definitely un-romantical Policeman means to find a completely un-romantical answer to…
Adapted from one of JM Barrie’s (Peter Pan) lesser known works, A Kiss For Cinderella explores compassion, romance, wartime refugees and the effects of poverty, all told with Barrie’s gentle humour and unexpected storytelling style.
Following in the tradition of darker, yet heart-warming, fare such as It’s A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol and The Snowman, this is a drama suitable for all the family, but is suggested for 8 years and upwards.
