| Summary | "A Kiss for Cinderella" by J. M. Barrie is a play written in the early 20th century. This comedic reimagining of the classic Cinderella story follows a character named Cinderella, who is depicted as a resourceful and imaginative young woman living in London during the tumultuous time of World War I. The narrative explores themes of love, identity, and the interplay between social classes, as Cinderella dreams of attending a grand ball and capturing the heart of a prince. The opening of the play introduces us to Mr. Bodie, an artist who lives in a messy studio and harbors dreams of a brilliant career. He encounters a policeman and they discuss a girl named Cinderella, who works for him as a housekeeper. She is portrayed as a clever but undervalued young woman, keenly aware of her circumstances yet full of aspirations. As Mr. Bodie recounts his observations about Cinderella, the policeman grows intrigued by her peculiar habits and background, hinting at a deeper story involving potential secrets and aspirations tied to her unusual name. The scene sets the stage for Cinderella’s journey, full of hope and challenges, as she navigates her desire for a better life against the backdrop of a wartime London.
