Oxford Playhouse pantomime delights audiences for festive season The carriage has arrived, and the glittering ball is underway at Oxford Playhouse as its traditional family pantomime Cinderella opens on the main stage. Directed by Toby Hulse and written by Anna Nicholson and Bobby Goulder, Cinderella is now playing until Sunday 8 January 2023, and is set to bring sparkle, silliness, and infectious laughter to audiences across
the festive season. The handsome but hapless Prince Charming has finally left university and come back home to the Kingdom of Ox. He’s ready to take on the crown and he’s looking for a wife. His ‘loyal’ Deputy is there by his side, but the devilish Dandina has plans of her own. She’s determined to become Queen herself, whatever that may take… Meanwhile our feisty Cinderella is busy bringing justice and freedom to the people browbeaten by Dandina’s outrageous tax on singing. If only her awful sisters would give her a break from
running around after them all day and night! Can the mysterious shape-shifting Fairy make sure that true love wins through and help our heroes to stop Dandina’s wicked plans? Cinderella, and her best friend Buttons the mouse, are set to take a midnight carriage ride like no other to the Playhouse Panto Party of the year!
Cinderella runs at the Playhouse until Sun 8 January 2023. Tickets are priced from £15 and are
available from the Box Office on 01865 305305 or book online at www.oxfordplayhouse.com
