Scottish ballet to retell the classic fairytale 'Cinderella' with a male lead

The Scottish Ballet is retelling the iconic ‘Cinderella’ story but with a male lead.

In their version of the classic fairytale, a male named ‘Cinders’ will be rescued from a life of drudgery by his princess.

The Ballet boasts that their break from tradition is a world first, and they can’t wait to share it with audiences.

Author Douglas Murray says companies that do this “misunderstand” Ballet's art form and the audiences who attend.

“I don’t think it’s the most groundbreaking thing to have a male Cinders,” Mr Murray told Sky News host James Macpherson.
