Mirror, mirror on the wall…

In a world where snowflakes fall like feathers, where mirrors answer back and dwarfs are a-plenty, Snow White is stranded in the forest.

Will she escape the poisoned apple and live happily ever after? Music, magic and a dwarf or two in this enchanting, humorous production.

Premiering at the Edinburgh Fringe in 1999, Snow White toured the UK in 2000 and Canada in 2001, appeared in Philadelphia, New York and a wider USA tour in 2002, before returning to the UK in Christmas 2002. Highlights included performances at the Barbican Pit, the National Theatre, and the New Victory Theatre on Broadway.

Tall Stories highlight the darker side of the story whilst still maintaining its target kiddie audience.

This is a stylish reworking…a mixture of mime, clowning and physical theatre.
