Exclusive sneak preview: West Yorkshire Playhouse's Cinderella
It's Cinderella, but not as you know it. The West Yorkshire Playhouse has created what it calls an alternative panto for this feative season - and you can watch highlights here.
Director Gail McIntyre and Writer Mike Kenny have built up an enviable reputation for imaginatively staged plays that offer a whole new perspective on familiar tales.
They've previously told the tales of Beauty and the Beast, Flat Stanley and The Snow Queen. This year they've turned their attention to Cinderella and created the perfect entertainment for ages four and above.
Cinderella has been sent to sleep in the kitchen by her mean step sisters Thisun and Thatun. But she's found some lovely new friends down there, who think they can sort things out and make it all better – her new friends are Ears, Teeth, Claws, Tail and Whiskers and they are rats.
Cinderella wants to go to the ball because she really wants to dance, her mum and dad taught her and she never gets the chance to practice.
Thisun and Thatun have a different plan and they don't want any competition in their plans to marry the Prince!
Lots of fun songs and silly storytelling promise to spark young children's imagination as this classic tale unfolds before their eyes.
The show runs from December 11 to January 23. You can book tickets here.
