A panto with a difference! On being requested to extend my Snow White and the 22 Dwarfs to accommodate a year group of 60, I thought why not team those 22 dwarfs up with 22 elves – with a few reindeer (and Father Christmas) thrown in?! Performance time will be around 45 mins plus – so a lot longer than my other plays BUT Snow White and the 22 Dwarfs will remain available in its original 20 min version, for those preferring the shorter option.
