Angel in the Ashes -or- Goodness Triumphant!
Have you never been melo…dramatic? Cheer and boo to your heart's content as Magis Theatre Company gets into the spirit of old-timey theatricals with George Drance's adaptation of Jacopo Ferretti's libretto for the 1817 Rossini opera La Cenerentola—which was itself inspired by Charles Perrault's Cendrillon, better known in English as Cinderella. The story follows a noble prince who, while disguised as a commoner, falls for a beauteous girl who has been reduced to the role of servant in her own home. Drance directs a cast of 11 actors, who accompany themselves with kazoos.
