In this version of the story, the title character, Mr. Cinders, is a male protagonist who finds himself in the midst of a magical transformation. With the help of his fairy godmother, he dons a disguise and attends a grand ball, hoping to win the heart of the beautiful Princess Charlotte. But the clock is ticking, and Mr. Cinders must make his escape before his true identity is revealed. The Pleasure Garden Theatre, a popular entertainment venue in Folkestone during the 1920s, was the perfect setting for this delightful production. The stage was alive with color, music, and laughter as the all-star cast brought the characters to life. The run of "Mr Cinders: A Barrel of Fun" was a great success, with audiences leaving the theatre humming the tunes and talking about the clever gender reversal of the classic Cinderella story. This photograph captures the magic and excitement of the production, with Mr. Cinders and his fairy godmother center stage, surrounded by the vibrant costumes and sets that brought the story to life. The 1920s, a decade known for its innovation and creativity, was the perfect time for such a production, and "Mr Cinders: A Barrel of Fun" remains a testament to the enduring appeal of musical comedy and the power of a good story, told in a fresh and unexpected way.
