Mirror Mirror on the Wall, What’s the Greatest Panto of Them All?
Why, Dereham Theatre Company’s Snow White of Course!

Snow White’s father, the King, married a beautiful, but vain and wicked woman who rules the land when the King mysteriously dies.

Every morning The Wicked Queen asks the mirror, "Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" The mirror always tells the queen that she is the fairest. Except one day when the mirror tells her that Snow White is the fairest. She decides that Snow White must die and orders her Huntsman to take Snow White deep into the forest and kill her, bringing back her heart. As in all great fairytales, he doesn’t kill Snow and tricks the Queen with the heart of a boar.

Snow runs deeper and deeper into the forest until she comes across a clearing with a tiny cottage where 7 dwarfs live and they decide to live happily together with Snow White doing all the cooking and cleaning and washing and ironing.
The Queen is furious when she finds out that Snow White is still alive and disguises herself as an old peasant woman who is selling apples – but the apple she gives Snow is a poisoned apple.

Snow White takes a bite and falls into a coma.

The dwarfs guard Snow White’s lifeless body until one day a handsome Prince arrives, sees Snow White, falls in love and with one kiss Snow White wakes up. The Wicked Queen gets her comeuppance and everyone lives happily ever after.
