TIME is running out to catch the Wyvern’s barmy panto – oh yes it is!

And with veteran Dame, David Ashley, making poor Cinders’s life a living hell and heartthrob Ryan Thomas taking the lead as Prince Charming, you wouldn’t want to miss out surely?

Cinderella dreams of escaping the life she has fallen into. With the arrival of an invitation to Prince Charming’s Grand Ball, it seems she may get her wish. However the Ugly Sisters are determined to keep her as their servant. But with a generous helping of panto magic her dreams may just come true after all.

Former Coronation Street star Ryan makes his pantomime debut in the role of Prince Charming.

The Salford-born actor burst onto our television screens in 2000 as Jason Grimshaw - a role he went on to play for more than 16 years before leaving the ITV soap in 2016.

Swindon's favourite Dame and all-around prankster David Ashley makes an anticipated return as one of the Ugly Sisters, 30 years exactly since he appeared in his very first panto, Jack and The Beanstalk, at the Wyvern.

Expect surprises, mayhem, belly roars, and if Cinders has her way, a well-deserved happy ever after.

Cinderella runs at the Wyvern until Sunday. To book, visit swindontheatres.co.uk or call 01793 524 481.
