Colombo International School brings Cinderella to life.

You know it all- the beautiful Princess, the prince, the wicked step mother and of course the ugly sisters. But rarely one brings them to life on stage. We’ve all read them at some point, and even wished we were one of them.

Why Cinderella? Well many reasons. Firstly there is very little theatre in English for the whole family. And this production although has the bawdy comedy, is one place where the entire family could spend time in a good laugh.

Such plays are rarely put on stage. And thirdly it would be a lovely prelude to February 14^th-
