CLASSIC. Adapted from the play by J. M. Barrie, author of Peter Pan and Wendy. In this retelling of “Cinderella,” Miss Thing, a penniless London girl in WWI London takes in four starving refugee orphans. She builds the children makeshift beds out of wood planks and shares with them her boiled potatoes and milk. She and the children adore the story of “Cinderella” and dream of attending a ball. One snowy night, Miss Thing falls asleep in her doorway and dreams that she is Cinderella. In her dream, a Red Cross nurse appears as her fairy godmother, a kindly neighborhood policeman is Prince Charming, a cockney King and Queen sit in rocking chair thrones, and everyone celebrates by eating ice-cream cones. Audiences of all ages will delight in this whimsical, charming comedy.
