This year’s production marks a special milestone, as it will be Luke’s 10th anniversary pantomime with the Society. Over the past decade, Luke has helped establish pantomime at the Kirk Theatre as one of the highlights of the local calendar, with shows combining comedy, spectacle and plenty of festive magic. Snow White promises to continue that tradition with dazzling scenery, colourful costumes, laugh-out-loud moments and spectacular effects for all the family to enjoy.
The plot follows the traditional tale of Snow White. Her jealous stepmother, the Wicked Queen, schemes to kill her in order to remain the “fairest of them all”, aided by her villainous chamberlain. When the palace charlady and the Queen’s page overhear the plot, they help Snow White escape. Along the way she meets a fairy and a friendly bear, who guide her to the dwarfs’ cottage. But danger soon returns. The Queen, disguised as an old woman, tricks Snow White into eating a poisoned apple. Just when all hope seems lost, our heroes rush to her side, and a handsome Prince awakens Snow White with a kiss. Audiences can expect all the traditional pantomime ingredients – songs, dancing, slapstick and plenty of audience participation.
