Cinderella Ice Cream Seller goes to Edinburgh!

Written By Tristan Jackson-Pate

I’m really pleased to share that Cinderella Ice Cream Seller, a new musical for families, will be heading to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this summer.

The show runs at the Ermintrude, at Underbelly, Bristo Square from 30 July – 17 August at 11:40am. Tickets are on sale now.

The show is written by David Gibb and produced by Little Seeds Music. It’s full of live music, bold storytelling and big emotions- a contemporary fairytale that’s also a love letter to friendship, ambition and very good ice cream.

The team and I are really proud of how this one punches above its weight as a musical, and with just two actor musicians onstage. One reviewer from our Oxford Christmas run called it “Nick Cope meets Operation Mincemeat”, which we’ll definitely take!

Creative Team:


Directed by Tristan Jackson-Pate
Written and Composed by David Gibb
Dramaturgy by Renata Allen
Design by Victoria Spearing
Props by Jana Lakatos
Lighting Design by Nomi Everall
Sound Design by James Ball
Performed by Lauren Harthorpe and David Gibb

Little Seeds have been supported by a Keep It Fringe grant and are really excited to share the show with new audiences, industry and programmers. More soon!

My name is Tristan Jackson-Pate and I am a theatre maker.

I’m originally from Stroud and first found a place of belonging in a youth theatre, which changed my life. I went on to train as an actor at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, and now I find the most joy in creating professional theatre with and for young people.

Since 2015, I’ve been Artistic Director of the award-winning People’s Theatre Collective in Oxfordshire. I’ve also worked in a freelance capacity with wonderful organisations like Creation Theatre, Oxford Playhouse and The Belgrade Theatre, Coventry.

During ten years as a writer, director and facilitator, I’ve written nine plays, a short film, and facilitated inclusive community arts projects in creative writing, devised theatre, and music composition with diverse participants. My freelance writing includes children’s stories, song commissions, educational videos, and sightseeing tours.

I’m an Associate Artist at Royal & Derngate, Northampton, a past Associate at the Old Rep Theatre, Birmingham and a Mentor Director for the National Theatre Connections programme.

As a trustee for Sophie's Silver Lining Fund, I’m committed to creating inclusive, youth led spaces that empower young people to discover their potential no matter their background. A drive to reduce inequality and champion fairer opportunities underpins all my work.
