This is not your average fairy tale. In this Cinderella, composed by Peter Maxwell Davies and directed by Janie Sutton, a young Cinderella travels from home to become the au pair for three young women who dream of nothing but marrying rich. This retelling includes a trusty fairy “cat” mother, a chorus of kittens, and of course a midnight striking clock.
