Cinderella's glass slippers hit Guildford's streets this autumn

A free, interactive street performance of Cinderella will take place in Guildford over the weekend of 13 and 14 October 2012.

Based on the classic story, the musical will be performed by both professional and amateur performers in various locations across the town centre. It will play out in real-time over the weekend, with Cinderella running away from the ball at midnight on 13 October.

Attending members of the public are encouraged to get involved with the characters, spread the word using social media and share photos and videos online. The story will also be made available on the web, as it happens across the two days.

It follows last year’s staging of The Passion, starring Michael Sheen, which was similarly performed on the streets, beaches and hills of Port Talbot in real-time, over two days at Easter.

Story Un (Ltd) are behind the event, which was formed by artistic director, Jenifer Toksvig; operations director, Tim Saward and producer Lia Buddle. The team are seeking singers, dancers, magicians, circus performers and stewards, among a variety of other roles, and details can be found on www.storyunltd.com.
