Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Axminster Guildhall

The show runs nightly from Thursday, (December 14) until Saturday (December, 16) at 7.30pm, with a Saturday matinee from 2.30pm.

The story of Snow White tells the tale of a beautiful princess born with skin so fair and pure that her mother named her Snow White.

After the Queen’s death, her father married a woman who was vain and wicked, and who would stand in front of a magic mirror asking who was the fairest woman in the land. The mirror always replied “My Queen, you are the fairest one of all”, until one day, an answer came that threw her into a rage – Snow White was now the fairest woman in all the land!

Snow White’s stepmother, furious at what the mirror had told her, ordered the palace drain cleaner to take her into the forest and kill her. But the palace drain cleaner felt sympathy for Snow White and let her go free.

Snow White came upon a small cottage and, feeling exhausted, collapses into one of the beds and falls into a deep sleep. When she awakes, seven dwarfs were looking down upon her. They told Snow White she could stay with them as long as she cleaned and cooked.

Snow White and the dwarfs lived in contentment until one day when the magic mirror told the Queen that Snow White was alive and was still the fairest of them all. The Queen disguised herself as an old woman and presented Snow White with a poisoned apple. After taking a bite of the apple, Snow White falls unconscious. The dwarfs, assuming she was dead, build a glass coffin and place her inside...

Will Snow White be freed from her unconscious state by the handsome Prince? Or will she be forever fated to her deep sleep?
