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.

Ms Aston's role as the Queen sees her play a beautiful woman who was the fairest in the land until her step daughter stole her crown - and she will stop at nothing to regain her title with the help of her henchman Ramsbottom, played by Tommy Carmichael.
Meanwhile, Fred Broom will play Dame Honeybun, the funniest dame in all of panto land. Mother to Muddles (but only 30 you know), she's constantly seeking her prince - maybe she'll find one in Barnstaple …?
