Cackle's Academy is staging a pantomime for the Christmas season, directed by Miss Crotchet. The pantomime is 'Cinderella', and is being staged in the Great Hall with the Grand Wizard in attendance. Backstage, everything's falling apart. Miss Hardbroom (in a white dress) has been cast by Miss Crotchet as the fairy godmother. "I'm just not that kind of witch!" Crotchet explains that the point is to cast people against character.
