Theatre Review: Matthew Bourne's Cinderella at the Kennedy Center Opera House

Cinderella, with an Identity Crisis

January 17, 2019 Jaya Ghosh Theatre, Theatre Reviews

Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures Cinderella causes us to question what makes a Cinderella story. Is it the evil step family, and subsequent escape from a life of servitude? Is it the fairy godmother that sends Cinderella to the Ball? Or is it the glass slipper that reunites Cinderella with her Prince?

What if a story has all those characteristics, but it’s not integral to the storytelling?

Tickets on sale Friday, January 18th, at 12 p.m.

On this edition of INTERVUE, Arely talks to Manolo Caro, director of the new film Perfectos Desconocidos or Perfect Strangers, a new adaptation of a 2016 Italian film. The electrifying story about a seemingly simple dinner. When a group of best friends get together during a lunar eclipse to share an intimate dinner in the tasteful house of Eva (Cecilia Suarez) and Antonio (Bruno Bichir), they suspect it’s just another typical night until the hostess proposes a game. All guests must lay their cell phones on the table and read aloud all incoming messages and answer all incoming phone calls in front of the entire group. What begins as a provocative party game quickly becomes a wild ride full of twists and “textual tension” in this electrifying over the top comedy about the secrets we all carry in our pockets.
