“William Wegman is known worldwide for his work with his amazing weimaraners.  In his retelling of ‘Cinderella”, the classic tale of transfiguration and transcendence, Wegman explores their talents to the fullest.  As Cinderella, Battina is the epitome of innocence and sweetness.  Battina’s real life mother, the versatile Fay Ray, plays many roles: the Fairy Godmother, a supercilious stepsister and, in a true test of acting prowess the evil stepmother.  Fay’s number one son, Chundo, brings to the role of Prince Charming an innate nobility and a deep true love that only a dog can give.  Add to the cast a schnauzer, a second stepsister played by a visiting Weimaraner, and a litter of six winsome puppies to transport Cinderella to the ball, and the timeless tale is told as never before.”
