Listen Later

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next of his regular audio described theatre reviews.

This time Rifco Theatre, the award-winning theatre company behind hits like Frankie Goes to Bollywood and Britain's Got Bhangra, gave audiences an evening of laughter, romance, and larger-than-life entertainment with ‘Surinderella’ at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre with description by Professional Audio Describer Michael Hurst.

About ‘Surinderella’

Welcome to The Bolly-woods, where the naach is non-stop, the drama is bigger than your aunties, and the romance is straight out of a filmi blockbuster!

Meet Surinder – sweet, strong, and stuck in a never-ending chore list thanks to her two selfie-obsessed, Insta-vlogging stepsisters who give her the name Surinderella.  Her only real support is the one and only Basanti, a cow with more attitude than a desi girl.

Meanwhile, Prince Ravi  is drowning in shaadi pressure from his royal family. But when he accidentally bumps into Surinderella, sparks fly faster than a Bollywood dance sequence!

Enter the fabulous Devi Godmother, arriving in full-on glam mode with magic, makeovers, and masala moves. With a dazzling Bollywood Ball, a mystical slipper, and a lot of bakwas, Surinderella’s destiny is about to get a serious glow-up!

Produced by Rifco Theatre & Wolverhampton Grand Theatre, in Association with Imagine Theatre and Watford Palace Theatre.
