A fairy-tale treat for families, Hans Christian Andersen's classic children's tale of adventure, friendship and bravery. Once, a wicked goblin made an evil mirror. When you looked into it, everything good and beautiful appeared worthless and bad. Then, the mirror was broken into a million pieces. Some got into people's eyes and, for them, the world became an ugly place. Even worse, some got into people's hearts and turned them into lumps of ice. That's what happens to Kai. Now he isn't happy with his home, his grandmother or his best friend, Gerda. He flies away to live with the Snow Queen in her icy palace far away in Lapland. Heartbroken, Gerda sets off alone across the wide world to find him, helped by the little robber girl, the crow and the reindeer. Rollicking robbers, a marching snow flake army, a cappella singing and The Snow Queen like you’ve never seen before - Foursight Theatre stamp their mark on one of the world’s most treasured stories. Treat yourself this winter to an enchanting theatrical alternative to the traditional Christmas panto. Packed with magical energy, music and puppets, The Snow Queen promises to be a wonderfully atmospheric evocation of the joy and sacrifice of human relationships.
