Entertaining original adaptation
of the classic Cinderella fairy tale.
Ella doesn't want to go to the ball: she'd much rather attend the football trials for Fairy Tale F.C. . Unfortunately, her cruel stepmother, Oksana, has seen to it that poor Ella can't leave the house that evening. However, with the help of her friend, Squirrel in Boots, and the Tooth Fairy anything is possible. Will Ella really be able to win a place in the football team, meet a prince and save the kingdom from Oksana's wicked plans? It's possible, but will certainly require a pumpkin and some magic.

NARRATOR 1: Once upon a time, there lived a girl called Ella who was kind-hearted and beautiful. Unfortunately, Ella's stepmother was a jealous and scheming bully. She delighted in being cruel to poor Ella. As for Ella's two stepsisters, they were spoilt and rude. Instead of sleeping in a bed, Ella had to curl up by the fireplace in the kitchen to keep warm at night.
(Ella falls asleep, exhausted, beside fireplace.)
NARRATOR 2: Ella's father was terrified of his new wife.
MARIO: (Peeping out from tablecloth.) No, I'm not.

(Enter OKSANA from left in foul mood followed by ENID and EDNA.)
OKSANA: Mario!
MARIO: Help! (Hides under tablecloth.)
OKSANA: I know you're here somewhere... You're more like an escaped hamster than a husband. (Looking at table.) Would you be under the kitchen table again, my dearest?
MARIO: (Feebly.) No.
OKSANA: (Looking under table.) Aha! What do you think you're doing under there? Hiding I suppose?
MARIO: Of course not, Oksana. I was just, er, having a bubble bath. (Wipes face with tablecloth.) All dry now. And, what can I do for you, my Little Cucumber?
OKSANA: Bring in the shopping bags: fine dresses and hats, precious jewels and new shoes to make my girls look stunning for the Prince's ball tonight. I just know that he'll take one look at either Enid or Edna and then fall in love in a heartbeat. Isn't that right, girls?
ENID: (Striking a super model pose.) Absolutely, I even had a bath earlier this month.
EDNA: (Striking a super model pose.) No way! He'll marry me, because I only dribble slightly when I smile.
OKSANA: Now Enid and Edna, no bickering. We'll just have to let the Prince make his own choice.
MARIO: (Gesturing to Ella.) Perhaps, there's someone else in the house who would like to go to the ball, my Little Radish. It is only fair after all.
OKSANA: (To Mario.) Get the bags!
(Exit Mario to left.)
OKSANA: I'd forgotten about her. Hey, you, thingie, wake up! We need to make up a nickname for her. She's always covered in cinders from sleeping beside the fire and her name's Ella, so what shall we call her girls?
ENID: Alice.
OKSANA: What? Cinder and Ella. Put the two together and it makes...?
EDNA: Luigi?
OKSANA: That's not even a girls' name. We'll call her Cinderella.
ENID and EDNA: (Together; taunting.) Cinderella! Cinderella!
(Ella slowly stretches and yawns.)
OKSANA: I don't think you'll be going to the ball dressed in rags and with soot all over your face. Besides you've got too much work to do in the house: light a fire in the hearth, put the dirty clothes in the washing machine, cook something tasty in the oven and sweep the floor. Chop-chop!
(Enid and Edna sit at table.)
ENID: Move it, lazy! Put some clothes on the fire and something tasty in the washing machine.
EDNA: Yeah, and don't forget to sweep the oven!
ELLA: Certainly, Mother, I'm sorry I fell asleep- I was just so tired.
(Ella begins to sweep floor under watchful gaze of Oksana.)
OKSANA: I suppose you'd like to attend the Royal Ball as well? It is the chance of a lifetime after all: to be chosen by a prince to be his wife. It's every girl's dream... even yours. (Pause.) Would you like to go to the ball, Cinderella?
ELLA: No thanks. I'm really much more into football than dancing and meeting princes. It's all way too girly for me. You go and have a lovely time.
OKSANA: Ha! Well, you can't come even if you beg me! So there.
ELLA: Okay.
(Re-enter MARIO followed by two stage-hands carrying two frilly dresses, two ladies' hats, a make-up box and two fans.)
MARIO: Ooh, I didn't know it was a fancy dress ball. These costumes are completely ridiculous! You're bound to win the competition. Who chose them?
OKSANA: I did. It's not a fancy dress ball.
MARIO: Oops! I'm going to the shed now. Goodbye.
(Exit Mario followed by two stage-hands.)
