Stephen Fry writes Old Vic panto

Stephen Fry has written a new version of Cinderella for the Old Vic, reports BBC News.
"It may sound wearingly like an attempt to be cool, hip and relevant to say that pantomime is interactive, but as something of a computer and a gadget geek, I've yet to find any gizmo from the digital age that can match pantomime for genuine interactivity," he said.

"'Look behind you' and 'Oh no, it isn't' still can't be beat for getting a child involved."
Fry follows in the steps of Mark Ravenhill, who last year wrote a version of Dick Whittington for The Barbican.
