Apples, mirrors and the deeply loaded question ‘who is the fairest of them all?’ will be included with song, dance and laughter as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs takes a Christmas Pantomime turn at the Queen’s Theatre in Barnstaple.
Lavish scenery, costumes and dazzling special effects will be the hallmarks of the Prime Pantomimes production, in association with Selladoor.
Jay Aston, one-quarter of Eurovision Song Contest winners Bucks Fizz, is part of a stellar cast and looking forward to playing the Wicked Queen with gusto and vim.
The show runs at the theatre from Friday, December 13, until January 5.
It is directed by Richard Cheshire, with Chris Whittaker as choreographer and James Beal as musical director.
