Cinderella panto, Everyman, review: A mix of old and new makes for an entertaining blend 

The traditional panto is given a modern twist with the heroine running a stall at a farmer's market 

Cinderella at the Everyman: The Ugly Sisters played by Fionula Linehan and Graham McDermott, with the Stepmother (Irene Warren).  Picture: David Creedon

Joy is something that has been in short supply in recent years but it is in abundance at the Everyman Theatre where, thankfully after the ravages of the pandemic, the only C-word on everyone’s lips is Cinderella. 

There is a sense of relief and anticipation in the air among young and old as the panto fun is unleashed once again, in association with Cork Academy of Dramatic Arts (CADA) and under the assured stewardship of Catherine Mahon-Buckley.
