★★★★★ “a subversive sensation that sends itself up almost as much as it does its city rivals… it’s hard to think of a better way to spend an hour… beg, steal, borrow, pawn your granny if you need to – just make sure to have Snow White and the Seven Maws in your festive calendar this Christmas.” Braw Theatre
★★★★ “a grown up version fit to blow the audience’s eyebrows off.” The Scotsman
★★★★ “splendidly subversive” The Stage
Think you’re having a bad day? Snow White’s is worse. She’s just found out that not only has her dad, the King, remarried – but he’s only gone and died!
Snow White and her trusty nanny – Hedda Lettuce – are now stuck at the palace with a complete heid-the-baw who wants to be known as Wicked Stepmother. A woman so vain that she spends half the day yacking to herself in the mirror. However, when the mirror tells the Wicked Stepmother that Snow White is the prettiest in the land, well it all goes completely tonto….
Will Snow White escape her heart being shredded and minced into next week’s pies? Will the Wicked Stepmother have a legally binding name? And who the hell are the Seven Maws?
