The production will run at the theatre from the 20th to the 31st October.
It has been confirmed that Rifco Theatre Company’s British South Asian family pantomime Surinderella, an Indian retelling of Cinderella will take to the stage this October.
Written by Pravesh Kumar MBE with music and lyrics by PBN, Surinderella is directed by Ameet Chana.
Welcome to Bolly Woods, where the naach is non-stop, the drama is bigger than your aunties’, and the romance is straight out of a filmy blockbuster!
Meet Surinder – sweet, strong, and stuck in a never-ending chore list thanks to her two selfie-obsessed, Insta-vlogging stepsisters, Lovely & Bubbly. Her only real support? The one and only Basanti, a cow with more attitude than a desi girl.
Meanwhile, Prince Kavi is drowning in shaadi pressure from his royal family. But when he accidentally bumps into Surinder, sparks fly faster than a Bollywood dance sequence!
Enter the fabulous Devi Godmother, arriving in full-on glam mode with magic, makeovers, and masala moves. With a dazzling Bollywood Ball, a mystical slipper, and a lot of bakwas, Surinder’s destiny is about to get a serious glow-up!
Surinderella follows on from Stratford East’s South Asian Summer season, highlighting once again the theatre’s commitment to showcasing British South Asian stories on stage.
