Newcastle
THE SNOW QUEEN by Hans Christian Andersen - adapted by Nick Stafford, and better described as a "Christmas play, not a panto" say the New Vic.

The inimitable Chris Monks creates another magical family Christmas round at the New Vic with the classic children’s tale of adventure, friendship and bravery brought to the stage with enchanting characters, gorgeous costumes and stunning visual effects.

A wicked goblin, Kay, Gerda, the little robber girl, the crow, the reindeer and of course the Snow Queen, all make this a Christmas production not to forget!
Fri 22 Nov - Sat 11 Jan
