A lively group of local people from the Cómpeta area got together at the Balcon Hotel to volunteer their help to put on this June's much anticipated production of Cinderella. Cinderella will be held at the Balcon Hotel, Cómpeta on Saturday June 19th and Sunday June 20th. Tickets for the show are 12 euros, available from May, which includes a welcome drink and tapas. A pre-performance supper will also be available priced at 15 euros for three courses plus wine. The panto, very much a blue adult version of the traditional tale, will raise money for two charities: Cudeca Cancer Care Hospice (75%), and the Sasha Roberts Scholarship Fund (25%).

The script for the show has been donated by the Lewes Arms Dramatic Society (LADS) in Sussex which has been performing adult pantomimes for thirty-four years. Because of the East Sussex group’s involvement part of the money raised will go to the Sasha Roberts fund.

Panto Director Tom was keen to point out the essence of the production: "This is definitely a panto that breaks all the rules but that's part of the fun. It's first and foremost a community event where we hope everyone who comes along will have a really good time. It's comedy but with a serious intent to raise as much money as possible for two extremely worthwhile causes."
