Emma Burkitt and Kim Curtis,
above, were featured in the April Link
appealing for other young people
to help them put on their version
of Cinderella.
Now twenty young cast and
crew are rehearsing with help from
drama practitioner Rebecca Lloyd
from Swindon Artsmad who is
helping them to focus on what
they have to do to put the show on
in early July.
Youth worker Carol-Anne Rap-
son said the project is ‘fantastic.’ “I
can’t wait to get to the Underground
for rehearsals; it’s so exciting and
so much fun. Emma and Kim are
doing a brilliant job coordinating
the group.
Three performances of Cinders
with a twist are planned on Tuesday
1 to Thursday, 3 July.
