The Return of the Snow Queen
Synopsis
It is many years since Gerda rescued Kai from the clutches of the Snow Queen but she has neither forgotten nor forgiven the children for defeating her dreadful plan for global domination. In an effort to regain her power she has teamed up with the evil Hobgoblin to mend the magic mirror so that once again it will reflect nothing but nastiness. They need only one final fragment for their plan to succeed and they know in whose heart it lies hidden
This moral fable picks up the story where the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale left off, bringing together the creatures of the Arctic and Antarctic in a quest that ranges across the globe. As the Snow Queens icy grip extends north, south, east and west to Australia and beyond, it is up to Dingo and his friends to rally the creatures of the earth to prevent her from achieving her wicked goal. Join the animals of Australia and the North and South Pole as they embark on an adventure that pits Good against Evil in a final battle for control of the earth and all its inhabitants.
As with all our productions, we seek not merely to entertain, but to educate as well, in the true spirit of Theatre in Education.
