The Shows
CINDER-ELLA
Once upon a time there was a much put-upon Grandfather who was left holding a rather leaky baby, and who liked telling a certain fairy story…
Whilst tidying toys away, he creates a world of story fantasy as he begins to tell the tale of Cinderella. With dolls, puppets, magic tricks and an old pram, he even gets to sing…
Join multi award winning veteran Krazy Kat performer Kinny Gardner in imaginative silliness with inventive puppetry, sign language, tunes from Rossini’s opera and even an aria. But who will get to be the clock and what’s all this about nappies…?
Suitable for all audiences of 3-7 years, D/deaf and hearing.

"Impossible to overpraise, this is inclusive theatre at its best. It’s daft and delightful, a fast and funny family show with an extravaganza of exquisite puppet figures that’s easy to watch and fun to see. As ‘The Grandfather’ the multi award winning performer Kinny Gardner is witty, enchanting and mesmerizing. The fluid sign language enriches the whole performance, and you revel in Kinny’s enjoyment and infectious sense of play."
Edinburgh Evening News
“Kinny Gardner brings an authentic vaudeville tang, liberally sprinkling his fairy dust. It is a coup de theatre indeed.”
