This children's story is Roald Dahl's "Revolting Rhymes - Cinderella". The story follows the traditional romantic story of a girl who was tormented by her step mother and sisters but she married the prince due to a fairy godmother who transformed her into a beautiful princess. However since it was a revolting rhyme the prince cuts of the step sister's heads and Cinderella doesn't marry the prince instead she marries a simple man with a good heart.

This story would most likely be play in the daytime and early evening due to the fact that it is a children's story and most children would be able to listen to the recording during the day. Also it would most like be played on a children's channel or family show due to the fact it is based for children.

For this type of acting, the actor must be able to create separate character voices and be able to sustain these voice through out the story. They must use clarity and projection so that the children will understand what they are saying and they must be a lot slower with their delivery of their lines due to the fact the children will not always understand what is said and they have a better chance of understanding if it is slower.

There is no background music to this story however there is sound effects that appear through out the story. For example at the beginning of the story it says "while darling little Cinderella, was locked up in the slimy cellar" at the same time it has a sound effect of a drop of water/slim that echos each time it hits the floor. This sound effect enhances the fact it is slimy and in a cellar but also it breaks up the text and helps create the story images for the children.
