When the Prince of the land sends out invitations to all of the villagers to attend a ball held in his honour, Cinderella begs to go but her stepmother will not allow her. The night of the ball arrives, and the three women laugh as they prepare for the party, and make their way to the festivities, leaving Cinders to clean up after them. Once they are gone, Cinderella quietly weeps wishing she could attend. At that moment her Fairy Godmother appears, and uses her magic to grant Cinderella's wish, creating for her a beautiful gown, matching glass slippers, and turns a pumpkin into a carriage to take her to the ball. The Fairy Godmother has one condition, that the spell will only last until midnight. | | B/O Price | £15 - £27 | | Length | | | Review | | | Seating Plan | | | Map | | | Other Info | |

The citizens of Thebes find out when Dionysus, god of creativity and chaos, arrives there only to be met with rejection by his mother's family and with violent intolerance by his cousin Pentheus, king of the city. Dionysus wreaks a terrible vengeance that leads to madness, destruction and murder. Along the way the myth pulls in caretakers, secretaries, bartenders, shop-workers, call centre staff, IT workers, wage slaves and the jobless, freeing them from the chains of everyday commitment to find the Bacchant inside them... But what are the rewards - and what's the price - of surrendering to Dionysus? | | B/O Price | £12 | | Length | | | Review | | | Seating Plan | | | Map | | | Other Info | |
