Beverley Knight Cinderella
Knight made her pantomime appearance at the Birmingham Hippodrome in 2017, acting as the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella. This leading character is a young girl living in desolate circumstances who is surprisingly blessed with very unique fortune when she got to the throne through marriage. The tale of Rhodopis, told by the Greek geographer Strabo between 7 BC and 23 AD, about a Greek prisoner girl who marries Egypt’s king, is widely considered as the first ever version of the Cinderella story.
This story first appeared in print in Europe in 1634 by Giambattista Basile in his Pentamerone in Italy. Charles Perrault published it in Histoires ou contes du temps passé in 1697 in French with the name Cendrillon, which afterwords was anglicized as Cinderella. This is the current version of the story well-known in the English-speaking world. Aschenputtel was an after version that the Brothers Grimm included in Grimms’ Fairy Tales, their gallery of folktales, which they published in 1812.
