Coming Soon: Ashputtel

Event: Ashputtel – The Story of Cinderella
Run: 25 Oct – 17 Nov 2012
Venue: Alliance Francaise Theatre
Directed by: Christina Sergeant
Written by: Dwayne Lau

I Theatre returns this week with a brand new musical Ashputtel, following their recent staging of Arabian Nights in September.

The age-old classic tale of Cinderella gets a makeover with well-seasoned director Christina Sergeant and actor-turned playwright Dwayne Lau, transforming the familiar rags-to-riches story into a musical adventure of song, drama, comedy, and not the least, shoes. See the story of Ashputtel unfold, of a girl who sleeps in the ashes by the fire, mistreated by her stepmother and two wicked stepsisters, and of her encounter with a Prince and a magical tree. Share her adventures as she finally gets what her goodness deserves.

This play is built for sensibilities of all ages while highlighting key lessons on generosity, perseverance and jealousy.
