Adapted from the story by Hans Christian Andersen, this new musical play takes place in a fairytale world full of magical beings. It’s a world where strange things can happen to anybody. When little Kay gets a speck of dust from a magic mirror in his eye  it changes the way he looks at things - anything good he sees as bad, and anything beautiful he sees as ugly.

The Snow Queen - a beautiful lady made of ice.

Whilst playing in the snow with the other boys, Kay is snatched from the world he knows. When he does not return his friend Gerda sets out on a perilous journey - to what seems the very end of the world -  in search of him. In keeping with the fantastical nature of the story this production incorporates puppets and masks.

Schools comments:

"Super production, held all the children's attention (foundation through to yr 6). I have never seen the children sit so still, utterly enthralled, for a whole hour before" 

"Workshops excellent, children were aware of the tasks and work quickly and most enthusiastically"
