When the evil Queen is told by her magic mirror that her beautiful step-daughter Snow White is the fairest in the land, she plots to kill her. Will Snow White be saved from Harry the huntsman's knife? And what is Harry the huntsman's secret? Join Snow White's best friend Bertie, Old Ma Bumble and the seven Dwarfs as they try to thwart the Queen at every turn. Throw into this mixture, Botchit and Leggit, two hapless builders, and you have a traditional family pantomime full of slapstick comedy and mayhem based on one of the best loved fairy stories of all time
There are seven main cast members plus the seven Dwarfs (11M - 3F - several male parts can be played by females)
and a chorus of Townsfolk, Children, and Woodland creatures. - Aprox running time 125 minutes.
There is Plenty of opportunity for audience participation with the "behind you" and "Oh yes it is", and lots of slapstick coming from Botchit and Leggit's attempts at DIY. One of the most satisfying scenes is a wonderful bit of synchronised mirror image acting.
It has everything an audience would expect in a family panto. - - - - - - - -'Amateur Stage'
