Family focused I Theatre gets creative with its year-end production; Ashputtel – The Story of Cinderella. The Grimms’ classic gets a makeover with a well-seasoned director, Christina Sergeant and actor-turned playwright, Dwayne Lau, striking the perfect balance of experience and fresh talent.
This theatrically adventurous play is built for sensibilities of ALL ages while highlighting key lessons on generosity, perseverance and jealousy the original story reflects. At the helm of the theatre scene as both an accomplished director and an actor, Christina Sergeant brings valuable experience to this production. Her directorial credits include On This Emerald Hill, Metamorphoses, Someday Samsara, 4.48 Psychosis, The Hypochondriac, NUNSENSE and award-winning production; Furthest North, Deepest South.

Once upon a time there was a girl called Ashputtel. She’s called Ashputtel because she sleeps in the ashes by the fire. Now, let us show you her story; of a stepmother, two wicked but beautiful stepsisters, a Prince, and a magical tree. You are invited to meet her family, share her adventures and discover how she finally gets what her goodness deserves!
We have taken the 200 year-old Grimms folk tale, and carefully re-shaped it. With music and song, drama and comedy, adventure and shoes, we present this classic folk tale as a brand new musical for all ages!
