A fairy tale familiar to all, but also not at all what you might expect.

In a small village, Popelku is forced to work as a servant undertaking menial tasks for her stepmother. One day, while out riding in the forest, she comes across a prince and his hunting party.

After impressing the prince with her hunting skills, and learning of a ball at the castle where the prince will choose a wife, Popelku uses some magic hazelnuts as part of her plan to finally let the prince know her true feelings.

More accurately translated as Three Nuts for Cinderella, Václav Vorlíček's adored seasonal classic is a surprisingly modern take, featuring an impressively feisty and independent Popelku and a well-developed character of the Prince, which adds weight and warmth to their romance.

With its beautiful wintry landscapes offsetting the colourful costumes, together with a true earworm of a musical theme tune, this is a funny, revisionist and wonderful reRUN treat.
