Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

October 1, 2009

In the Madrid Players’ English-language pantomime, Snow White wins a talent contest organised by the wicked Queen’s press agent Dame Donna Deluxe. The Queen, informed by her mirror, is enraged and contracts Hollywood wannabe Gladiator and his sidekick Tigger to kill her. The comic duo cannot carry out the dastardly deed and let Snow White and Dame Donna free in the Forbidden Forest where they end up involved in a version of Big Brother in the dwarves’ house. Dodgy jokes, Star Wars and Harry Potter references abound in this laugh-a-minute show.

And while it hasn’t retained any of the soul of its previous incarnation, it is quickly creating some of its own.
