Ireland's travelling marionette theatre company Moon & Sixpence Puppet Theatre presents a magic pumpkin story for Halloween in a string puppet production of the classic fairy tale in the cheeky style of Moon & Sixpence productions. Cinderella's Halloween pumpkin transforms into a golden carriage, but Cinders prefers to travel to the Halloween Ball by hot air balloon instead! Meanwhile, her two ugly sisters can't decide if their Halloween masks actually make them less scary than usual! This colourful puppet production follows the traditional tale, but with messages about persistence, being yourself and not letting others bother you woven into the story.
