The Snow Queen

Adapted for the stage from the original story by Hans Anderson.

 With the crystal beauty of a snowflake and a heart as cold as ice the Snow Queen awaits. Those who see the world with the innocence of a child are beyond her icy reach but he, whose vision is distorted by the dark mirror, may find himself in her power.

Gerda’s love for her missing friend Cei spurs her to undertake a long and dangerous journey. Through many strange lands she travels, encountering mysterious folk and magical creatures, never losing hope that she will succeed in her search. But even if she finds him, how will she bring him back from the frozen realm of the Snow Queen?

Milly Jackdaw, Vee Robinson and Jo Vagabondi with the help of a large hat box, an umbrella and an assortment of found and made things, bring you a theatrical performance in which storytelling and puppetry play against a backdrop of sounds and music to transport you to the lands of the northern lights.

A perfect piece of Winter magic for children over 5 and their families.
