A Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh production
By Sally Cookson, Adam Peck, and the Original Company
Ella and her devoted father share a love for woodland birds and their calls, but when her father remarries, everything changes. Now Ella's feathered friends feel like her only true family.
Until one day, a mysterious boy stumbles upon Ella's tree hideout with an invitation to the Queen's Christmas Ball! Can Ella make it to the ball in time? And is there more to her bird friends than meets the eye?
Sally Cookson's celebrated adaptation of Cinderella will delight the whole family next Christmas in a new production from The Lyceum. With music, puppetry and Dr Martens, this festive story adds a magical flutter of wings to happily ever after.
