Cinderella Wore Combat Boots

Cinderella, and the other characters, think and speak in modern terms, replacing the innocent mood of the original with the very hip and knowing attitudes of today's young people

The stepsisters are more boy crazy than ugly; their mother more silly than cruel; and the prince is so bashful and tongue-tied that he hides whenever a girl comes into view

And Cinderella does wear combat boots to the ball - which is delightfully consistent with the wacky, tongue-in-cheek, and continually diverting style of this thoroughly charming short play

An ingenious and very funny version of the classic Cinderella story, in which today's language and attitudes lend an off beat, special quality to the events so well known to all. Especially recommended for school and contest use
