With panto season still in full swing in Edinburgh, Mark Brown reviews Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
Auld Reekie’s famous big stage panto has relocated from the King’s Theatre to its splendid sister venue the Festival Theatre, while the campaign continues to fund the redevelopment of The King’s. The show – which, as ever, boasts the very considerable pantomime talents of Allan Stewart and Grant Stott – switches from Tollcross to Nicolson Street for at least two years.
This allows for a larger cast, with more dancers, for example. It also enables an old-school cast of seven performers with dwarfism, their character names altered carefully to avoid the attentions of Disney’s lawyers. For his part, Stott – who proclaims himself to be the most gorgeous “tidy” among all the men of Edinburgh – is at his boo-inducing best .
The typically zippy script by Harry Michaels and Allan Stewart creates plenty of space for silly games .
