Snow White and the Seventh Dwarf, A Play, a Pie and a Pint

Snow White and the Seventh Dwarf, A Play, a Pie and a Pint

The little-known - indeed, buried - story of a Pantomime Princess's forbidden relationship with a Person of Shortness. Read more …

The other Dwarves - Whiffy, Jakey, Junkey, Spikey, Fart and Stupid, - are conveniently out of the cabin (budget issues) when Snow-White unburdens herself to Chookie, the Seventh Dwarf.  It turns out she is dreading having to be rescued by a Prince: from what she knows of Princes, they're spoilt brats who would make rubbish husbands. She is warming to the charms of the wee man, who loves to work - a relationship The Media have kept under wraps for decades - nay, centuries. (Although you don't have to say "nay" - it's a Pantomime word.)

In the meantime, Dark Forces are Abroad. That's all you need to know--Dark Forces! Abroad!

Will Snow-White be rescued by a Handsome Prince? Killed by a Wicked Queen (is there any other kind?) or live happily ever after in a taboo relationship with the love of her life - who may or may not be a Person of Shortness?


The critical consensus

If the whole show sometimes threatens to collapse in chaos, it’s the right kind of chaos; radical, cheeky, purposeful, and bristling with subversive wit.
