The fairest panto in the land

IN 1987, at the Alexander Theatre in Braamfontein, writer/director Janice Honeyman created her first pantomime, based on the classic fairy tale, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Now, 31 years later, Joburg Theatre and Bernard Jay present Janice Honeyman’s Snow White, The Fairest Panto in All The Land, which runs until December 23.

Bigger and more spectacular than ever, the evergreen story of Snow White has been brought to life again in an enchanting production complete with an all-star cast, stunning sets, beautiful costumes, breathtaking special effects, including an amazing interactive journey into the forest in 3D, and lots of comedy.

Comedy star Desmond Dube plays the role of Dame Dolla Diddledaddledoodledragon, while former radio presenter and Irish rugby player John Robbie makes his pantomime debut as The Major-dumb-ou of the Royal Palace of Cool Cornucopia.
