“Cinderella is a character that gets a lot of hate in the C21st - if she’s in such a terrible situation, why doesn’t she just leave? Why does she wait for a man to save her? The answer is clear: Cenerentola’s true strength is that she chooses to be kind.” - Rosie Kat, Director

Not quite sure how or when this happened, but apparently I have become a model box making director and am finding it very therapeutic
