Snow White

This is not your usual “Once Upon a Time.” Classic? No. Wild? Yes! To start with, it’s a two-person play. Do the math. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves? Two fabulous, whip-smart, super-fast actors play Snow White, the huntsman, the prince, and all seven dwarves! And it’s funny. Really, really funny. So expect the unexpected in this fabulous fairy tale with a (spoiler alert) you-won’t-see-it-coming twist.

"Greg Banks’ adaptation is a fantastic theatrical adventure that takes a traditional theatrical story that’s in our canon and brings it with a furious, hilarious and inventive immediacy.t’s in some ways groundbreaking, in terms of theatricality, but in other ways, it’s groundbreaking in terms of representation and I think those are all the things that are important to us as an institution” – David Ivers, Artistic Director of South Coast Repertory Theatre

“Banks’ adaptation honours the original tale by the Brothers Grimm — some lines are pulled directly from the story — but also colours it in to add further depth and contemporary resonance. If in the ur-text, Snow White comes across as too naive in the way she fails to learn her lesson after her stepmother attempts to kill her — not just once but twice — Banks draws a character that is more layered, less a fairy-tale damsel in distress.” – Toronto Star
