The Portsea-based troupe is putting on Snow White and the Seven Dwarves for its annual pantomime.

Directed by Richard Stride and Christian Oen, they hope to carry on in the tradition of their last record-breaking box office smash, Jack and the Beanstalk. And they promise another year of stunning sets – including a winter fairytale town – glittering costumes and side-splitting comedy.

The Wicked Queen will make an appearance – and attempt to banish Snow White once and for all, and the handsome Prince, mischievous Muddles and the seven dwarfs will triumph over evil. The panto runs from Friday, December 2 to 31. Tickets are £10 for children £16 for adults.
