Rehearsal Shots For Bristol Old Vic’s Cinderella: A Fairytale

The award winning show has been picked by Bristol Old Vic as its festive theatre this year

It’s been 15 years since Cinderella: A Fairytale first played Tobacco Factory Theatres for a Christmas coproduction between the south Bristol theatre and Travelling Light.

The hit show, devised by Sally Cookson, Adam Peck and The Original Company has been selected by Bristol Old Vic for its annual Christmas show this year.

It’s based on the original Grimm Brothers’ tale. This brand new production has been given a fresh new lease of life, directed by Lisa Gregan.

With just a few weeks left to go until opening night, Helen Murray hit the rehearsal studio to capture the cast and creatives in action.



Cinderella: A Fairytale will be at Bristol Old Vic 27 November 2026 – 02 January 2027
