The Snow Queen to bring Christmas magic to Whitchurch
A puppet show telling the classic fairytale of The Snow Queen is coming to Whitchurch in December
Theatrix Arts will bring its production of The Snow Queen to The Talbot Theatre at Whitchurch Leisure Centre, at Sir John Talbot's School, on Friday, December 4, at 5.30pm.
The story is told through the eyes of puppets Gerda and Kai, as they embark on a magical adventure.
The show begins in a toy maker's workshop, where toys come to life to tell the tale of Gerda's quest to rescue her brother Kai from the evil Snow Queen, who is holding him prisoner in her ice palace.
Along the way, audiences will meet the magical creatures who help Gerda on her mission.
Paul Batten, of Theatrix Arts, will bring the story to life using puppets, changing scenery, music and sound effects.
After the performance, children will have the opportunity to meet the puppets and take part in a workshop to make their own puppet based on a character from the show.
One audience member described a previous performance as a "wonderful show", adding that the combination of shadow puppetry, storytelling and music transported both their four-year-old daughter and themselves into a magical world.
The show is suitable for children aged three and over.
Tickets cost £5 and are available from artsalive.co.uk or by calling 07506 724572.
