The Snow Queen – A GLOC Christmas Panto!
Come join us for the annual GLOC panto!
“Kay! Kay? What have you done to my brother?”
The village Snow Ball preparations go awry when Kay’s heart is pierced by a frozen shard of broken mirror. He has been taken by the Snow Queen, who holds the land in the grip of an icy winter. Gerda is the only one brave enough to take the perilous journey to save him.
Aided and abetted by a recusant Robber Girl, a sardonic crow and a sprightly reindeer, Gerda must face dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, as she strikes out towards the Snow Queen’s castle. Her Granny would have fifteen fits if she knew, but a rescue mission is the only chance.
Will the Snow Queen’s troll minions be able to stop them? Will Kay ever recover from his propensity for higher Mathematics? Will Matt the Robber Chief ever find love? Does Gerda’s locket hold a frozen secret? And what’s with all the free spoons?
Find out in Grosvenor Light Opera Company’s production of The Snow Queen. It’s snow joke!
