An ingenious, alternative version of Cinderella, which puts a contemporary spin on the story, while at the same time delivering a traditional family panto with all the usual trimmings. The emphasis is very much on comedy, which is provided by a daft duo of television producers called Mr Muggsy and Mr Puggsy who orchestrate an X-Factor-style talent show, for which the prize is the hand of Prince Charming. But poor Muggsy & Puggsy spend most of the time trying to escape the romantic clutches of the Ugly Sisters. This script is packed with witty banter, rhythmic patter and accessible modern references. There’s also some good old fashioned slapstick. Something for all the family!
