"Warm, family-friendly fairytale with a smart twist."
— The Stage
New International Encounter (NIE), the makers of The Snow Queen, Beauty and the Beast and Hansel & Gretel, bring to you a re-telling of the classic fairy tale Snow White.
Join our charmingly cheerful heroine as she escapes her hilariously homicidal stepmother with help from a bunch of feisty woods-dwelling, banjo-strumming, washboard-wearing vegans. This rustic romp affirms the belief that even the most evil deserve a chance at redemption.
NIE have adapted the classic Grimm tale with their signature blend of live music, clowning and storytelling to create an enchanting show which will be enjoyed by all. Re-developed for 2025 into a 1-act 75 minute production.
