About the show
Charming is a comedy play presented by Fringe Management at Forest Theatre during Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Cinderella wants a divorce, and Prince Charming's already trying day is about to get considerably worse. Cinderella's Fairy Godmother arrives with a list of demands the Prince must agree to, followed by the Evil Stepmother with demands of her own. The show asks whether the Prince is willing to change, whether divorce is even possible in the realm of fairytale, and whether he can remain charming under pressure. The show runs for 55 minutes, is suitable for ages 14 and over, and tickets are £15.
Why see this show?
A comedy that takes a familiar fairytale and puts it through the filter of modern relationship dynamics — sharp, irreverent and played for laughs throughout. The layered interruptions from multiple characters keep the energy lively across the full 55 minutes.
