All About Ian Teague's Fabulous Cinderella Set and Costume Designs and Photos Here!

I couldn't resist adding these comments from our illustrious Designer Ian Teague to these beautiful images he has shared with us today. They make me smile because Ian and I had such fun talking about how we would approach the show, and because he has a mecurial naughtiness that shows in the face of the moon below!

He said (and some of you may have read this under one of the blogs)

Transformation was the thing we identified as the key theme in the Cinderella story way back when we first started talking about the show. I'm glad to see that its still there as the big theme in the show. I think these stories that are used for panto have endured because they speak to some fundamental issues about how we live our lives and how we might change them. Its not "just a panto" its an enduring story and it endures because it is powerful. Stories have power to teach us and to change us - have you read "Teaching as storytelling" by Kieran Egan? 

This story is so powerful it seems to have changed Arc into a Musical Theatre Company - who would have believed it?
