Surinderella Pantomime Returns to St George’s Hall

A new British South Asian family pantomime set for August 2026

A family-friendly pantomime titled Surinderella is scheduled to take place at St George’s Hall in Bradford from 5 to 8 August 2026, with performances starting at 7:30pm each evening. The production is presented by Audacious and is described as a British South Asian take on the traditional pantomime format.

About the show

Surinderella centres on the character Surinder, who is portrayed as a kind and resilient young woman burdened with household chores. She lives with her two stepsisters, Lovely and Bubbly, who are preoccupied with social media and vlogging. The story also features Basanti, a cow with a distinctive personality, and Prince Kavi, who faces pressure from his royal family regarding marriage. The plot includes elements typical of pantomime such as magic, romance, and comedy, set against a backdrop inspired by Bollywood culture.

The production incorporates themes of family, romance, and humour, with musical and dance sequences influenced by South Asian film traditions. Key characters include a Devi Godmother who brings magical interventions, and the storyline involves a mystical slipper and a Bollywood-themed ball.
