Luke Barnes’ Cinderella transfers to The Vaults in November and stars Megan Pemberton

Megan Pemberton

Luke’s acclaimed play, Cinderella, written with Not Too Tame Theatre Company comes to London from 22nd November until 12 January.  The play stars fellow graduate Megan Pemberton (and a former Foundation Course student, Jack Condon) and will be on at The Vaults.

Cinderalla is a pantomime staged in a traditional English pub! This unique twist on the Cinderella story sees all the characters you know, love and hate colliding in a local boozer, where the audience are welcomed to the heart of the action to witness pints spilled, mates pulled and hearts poured out on the karaoke.

Crammed with live music, mayhem and a touch of midnight magic, Cinderella will have you dancing in the aisles and laughing your baubles off. Think The Royle Family meets Elf, in a bespoke pub theatre within The Vaults complex beneath Waterloo station.
