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

Meet Surinder – sweet, strong, and stuck in a never-ending chore list thanks to her two selfie-obsessed, Insta-vlogging stepsisters, Lovely & Bubbly. Her only real support? The one and only Basanti, a cow with more attitude than a desi girl.

Meanwhile, Prince Kavi is drowning in shaadi pressure from his royal family. But when he accidentally bumps into Surinder, 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, Surinder's destiny is about to get a serious glow-up!

Rifco Theatre Company, led by Artistic Director Pravesh Kumar MBE, develop, produce and tour vibrant, accessible and ambitious new plays and musicals that reflect and celebrate British South Asian experiences.

Surinderella follows a dynamic South Asian Summer of work running at Stratford East this July comprising fearless new writing, live music, comedy, cabaret and boundary-pushing performance. Highlights include Kanpur: 1857 by Niall Moorjani; Olivier Award-nominated play Blue Mist by Mohamed-Zain Dada ; London legend Brown Sauce Comedy Club; live vocal and dance celebration Say Shava Shava; Qawwali Live: with Hussain Brothers; and British Asian cabaret Heeramandi.
