Cinderella and the Matzo Ball

JW3’s panto is only in its third year, but already it feels like a seasonal ficture thanks to its idiosyncratic Jewish humour and distinction of being pretty much the only form of entertainment in all of London to have a Christmas Day performance.

It’s the same creative team as the last two, headed by writer Nick Cassenbaum and director Abigail Anderson. Talia Pick stars as baker Cinderella, alongside her bad sisters Milchig (Rosie Yadid) and Libby Liburd (Fleishig).  Here Cinderella goes on a journey takes her to the upside-down Land of Traif, where they sing songs of ‘cockles, escargot, bacon, lobster and oysters, and veal sauteed in its mother’s milk’.
