Scottish Ballet is retelling the classic fairytale Cinderella – with a man sometimes in the lead role.
Audiences attending the production of Cinders will not know until the curtain goes up whether the main character will be a man or a woman.
One version will be traditional – with a female Cinderella being swept off her feet by her Prince Charming.
But in the other, a male Cinders will be rescued from a life of drudgery by his princess.
The ballet, set in a draper’s store at the turn of the 20th Century, will feature an art-nouveau inspired set with the traditional score by Sergei Prokofiev.
The ballet is being performed at Glasgow’s Theatre Royal.
