The play, which was specially written for the young theatre company, told the classic tale of a beautiful princess who takes refuge in a house of seven dwarfs to hide from her stepmother, the wicked Queen.

With their usual enthusiasm and talent, the budding actors took on four shows from 27th-29th November.
