Snow White 4
Written by Maurice Gran and Nick Wilkes
Snow White, the palace orphan, is horrified that her evil queen Malvinha is stripping Tewkesbury’s natural resources to fund her desperate bid to be the fairest in the land. She sets out to save the county with the help of her buxom Nanny, the palace IT guy and some very strange small people. Little does she know that the queen is out to get her with a dodgy magic apple and a very talkative mirror …

Back for another bite of the apple this Christmas are the creators of King Arthur: The Panto!; the BAFTAwinning writer Maurice Gran (Birds of a Feather) and local playwright Nick Wilkes (the Almost series).
Our 2022 pantomime is another classic tale brought bang up to date with a sharp, witty script that the whole family will love.
Come and join the fun!
