Reviews

“Louise Haddington’s adaptation is by the book but has immense charm. It stays close to the original and wisely eschews the temptation to over-egg the moral message.”

“(Freya) Crompton’s Snow Queen herself struck a balance between being appropriately icy (for the character, that is) and not being so terrifying as to ruin the evening for younger patrons.”

“A super duper Christmas show for a family aged between 6 - 60 plus years.”

— Chiswick W4

“Once again the Tabard have created festive magic!”
