Scissorella's Winter Ball
Aphra Behn Theatre, Kent, CT4 5RU
Sunday 6th December 2026
Eleesha Drennan Dance and Drew Colby present Scissorella's Winter Ball, a one-hour festive fairytale of shadow, dance, music and imagination - with an invitation to get up and dance for anyone who finds sitting still a little overrated.
“Enchanting” · “Refreshing & joyous” · “Simply magical”
Scissorella’s Winter Ball is a magical winter retelling of Cinderella, inspired by the true story of pioneering filmmaker Lotte Reiniger and brought to life through dance, storytelling, music, shadow puppetry and live silhouette animation.
Created as the Aphra Behn Theatre’s first in-house production, it’s the perfect Christmas show for the whole family - from the tiniest imaginations to the most grown-up ones.
ONE PRICE FOR EVERYONE
Tickets are £15 for everyone aged 2+.
That’s the price we’d charge for a child’s ticket, and we don’t think grown-ups should have to pay more to experience the magic too.
Under 2s go free on an adult’s lap, but please book them a free Under 2 ticket so we know they’re coming!
- Inspired by the picture book Scissorella by Clare Helen Welsh, illustrated by Laura Barrett, and by the life and work of pioneering filmmaker Lotte Reiniger
- Created and performed by Drew Colby & Eleesha Drennan
- Music by Gianluca Cucchiara and Arlissa
- Produced by Eleesha Drennan Dance LTD and Vanara Ltd
