Synopsis
This is the story of Cinderella as she is known in China, Russia and by Native Americans, told by Cinderella herself. What better way for today's young people to explore these other cultures than by the enactment of three of the most playable versions of this story? We are introduced to Plum Blossom, The Chinese Cinderella; Vasilisa, The Russian Cinderella; and Rough Face, The Native American Cinderella of the North American Micmac tribe. The world's favorite fairy tale can be presented as a whole, or you may present its individual scenes, perhaps in classes exploring other cultures or in youth theater workshops. To facilitate such a project, Nancy Swortzell has prepared an extensive study guide included with this edition. She has designed workshops for children before or after a performance of Cinderella and projects for groups working on each of the individual tales.

Customer Reviews
Our audiences loved the play. It was easy to get school groups because of the multicultural aspects of the show, and once there, the children were enchanted. For our evening performances, the play had the same appeal to a general family audience. Once the word of mouth got around about the show, we had to turn away both school groups and family patrons. Because of our success with Cinderella: The World's Favorite Fairy Tale, I cannot recommend it too highly.
