ALIENS SIGHTED ON MAIN STREET.

The Bentham News can reveal that there have been recent sightings in Bentham of zorgons, grunge cadets and fembots, and we have heard eye-witness accounts of close encounters with a mojo-swinging Dandini and two sisters whose beauty is not of this world.

Yes! It’s panto time again! This month CINDERELLA IN SPACE will be landing at Bentham Town Hall, where over a hundred children, teenagers and adults will present for your entertainment the traditional story of Cinderella set in the year 3007.

Cinderella’s father, the Baron, is sent off to the planet of Bling to buy presents for his daughters to go to the ball. But, with the help of Lieutenant Over and Lieutenant Out, his spaceship is sabotaged by the wicked Baroness Rubella. Whilst he is away his kind daughter Cinderella is forced to slave in the kitchen for the two ugly sisters, Am-I-Bothered Alopecia and Salt-And-Vinegar Scarletina. Will Cinderella get to go to the galactic ball? Will she get to try on the anti-gravity boot? (“Whomsoever this anti-gravity boot shall fit shall be my bride!”) Will her father be able to boost his hyper-crypers and super-dypers and return to Planet Bentham so that Cinderella can be married to Prince Charming by the Galactic Emperor? Will the ugly sisters be banished and go for a Burton, or merely be forced to move frequent votes of thanks at meetings in High and Low Bentham?

All will be revealed from February 14^th to February 17^th in Bentham Town Hall. Down-load your swipe-tickets from Bentham Sports pod for a cosmic panto that will be truly out of this world!
