The annual Christmas pantomime to be performed by the St. Michael’s Players this year will be the perennial favourite Cinderella.
The local amateur theatre group will be staging a production written by Ben Crocker and directed by Neil Dickins as the final offering of its 75th anniversary year
Only magic can save the day when Cinderella's stepsisters try to stop her from going to the Prince's Ball. Will she get there in the end, and if she does then what will happen when the royal clock strikes twelve? Join the St. Michael’s Players at the Prince’s Ball to find out how the tale unfolds in this fast-paced, fabulously festive treat with enough songs, jokes and laughs to fill the grandest of ballrooms.
It is being performed as usual at the St. Michael Centre on Elmwood Road (W4 3DY) from 10-14 December starting at 7.45pm, plus a Saturday matinee at 4pm, with doors and bar opening half an hour beforehand
Tickets start at £10 for adults and can be booked online. These productions tend to sell out and some performances have already done so, so don’t delay. The St. Michael’s Players advises not to book the refundable option as it refunds all tickets up to 24 hours before show start time.
