London for Christmas

Take a journey with us into the magical, mystical frozen world of the Snow Queen. Skewbald Theatre fuses together music, song, dance, physical theatre, puppetry and storytelling to bring to life this new interpretation of the classic Hans Christian Anderson story suitable for all the family.

Many moons ago a wicked goblin created a cursed mirror which smashed into a thousand tiny pieces. A shard of this mirror fell into the eye of an unsuspecting little boy called Kay. Kay’s heart is gradually turned to ice and he is spirited away by the Snow Queen. It is up to his best friend Gerda to rescue him and bring him home. She must travel many miles across frozen landscape encountering unusual people and strange creatures. With the help of her friend the Reindeer can Gerda reach the palace of the Snow Queen to break the spell and melt Kay’s frozen heart.
