About Cinderella

Welcome to the 2023 St Andrews panto brought to you from the creators of all the much-loved Byre pantos since 2014.

Byre Theatre and Bard in the Botanics present

Cinderella
written and directed by Gordon Barr
Fantasia is in trouble… again! Cinderella’s dreams may be reduced to, well, cinders, and while she dreams of a charming prince, it’ll take more than a new pair of heels to sort this one out.

Can our favourite Fairy Godmother help Cinderella and her theatrical pals to return to the spotlight, and bring the sisterhood to a wicked, joyful, new stage? After all, there’s no business like show business and the show must go on!

Expect singing, dancing, hilarious jokes (maybe some groans) and lots of fun and laughter for you, your family and all your friends!

Captioned Performance – Saturday 9 December, 2.00pm (Please note that the best seats for seeing the captions are rows E to K , seats 5 to 15.)
Relaxed Performance – Tuesday 12 December, 7.00pm
Audio-described Performance – Saturday 16 December, 2.00pm (Please book your headset by calling 01334 475 000 or emailing byreboxoffice@st-andrews.ac.uk)
