Snow White

By Laura Turner

 

This beloved fairytale will be brought to life for audiences across the UK in 2011 as Snow White finds a rather unusual group of friends, deep in the forest. Children and adults alike will adore this lovely new adaptation of such a familiar story as six 1940s’ children decide to perform their own version of the tale one hot summer’s afternoon. Join the children and their special friend Milky-White the cow for a wonderful afternoon’s entertainment – and don’t forget to come in fancy dress for the Fairytale Parade during the interval!
