Cinderella

by Rosemarie Gerould

Synopsis

This is the traditional story of Cinderella, her stepmother and two ugly stepsisters. Almost. In our version, her fairy godmother is a trainee named Tootie who is a bit of a klutz. In the ball scene all the actors, including the prince, dance with children from the audience. All of the minor characters in the play (the footman, the messenger from the palace, the stableman and the councillor to the prince) are played by the same actor, who is listed in the credits as "Everybody Else".
