Scrooge and the Seven Dwarves

A festive treat for those who don’t want to get stuck in the past…

 

Award winning Sleeping Trees who have had sell out success with Cinderella and the Beanstalk, are returning to Theatre503 with the world premiere of Scrooge and the Seven Dwarves – a fizzing cocktail of everyone’s favourite pantomimes, directed by highly acclaimed Simon Evans (The Dazzle, Bug, Silence of the Sea).

One cold Christmas Eve, Santa and his elves are preparing for another busy night. The reindeer are ready and the sleigh is packed. There’s just one problem; the sleigh won’t start because the Wicked Witch has stolen all the Christmas spirit. In his desperation, Santa looks to the most unlikely of heroes to save the day… the terrifying Ebenezer Scrooge.

The performers recreate every character you’d expect to meet in a pantomime, as well as some you might not. With Scrooge, Snow White, the Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins, the seven dwarves, Harry Potter and, of course, Father Christmas, the questions on everyone’s lips are… will Scrooge manage to change his ways and save

Christmas? Will the boys make it to Hollywood? And what do the Seven Dwarves have to do with ANY of this?

Sleeping Trees are a comedy trio blending the classic elements of a well-loved pantomime with an astonishing range of fast, physical and bare-knuckled comedy. With live music, and plenty of mess, the Trees sing, dance and fight their way through ninety minutes of panto pandemonium with on-stage musician Ben Hales.

Enjoy, and don’t forget to ‘look behind youuuuu.’

The production is funded by Arts Council England.
