Wrongsemble to present THE SNOW QUEEN at the Albany in Deptford

This Christmas, award-winning family theatre-makers Wrongsemble present The Snow Queen, a co-production with the Albany and ARC Stockton Arts Centre, from 4-31 December at the Albany in Deptford.

This festive tale for families also shines a light on the climate emergency and provides an inspiring and powerful message about sustainability to audiences in London.

The show is a vibrant musical and total reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale incorporating elements of cabaret and original music. Wrongsemble’s modern adaptation, written by its Artistic Director Elvi Piper, introduces a strong belief in the power of community to bring about change as well as a roll-call of multi-dimensional characters that embrace and celebrate difference. In this show, the Snow Queen becomes a Drag Queen and the audience meet an array of fun characters including an anti-recycling hoarder, an energy abusing polar bear and an overworked elf. 

The cast includes Thomas Cotran as Horton/Oops/Flash, Richard Priestley as Snow Queen (Madge) and Tilly Smith as Lumi.

Elvi Piper, who also directs, said: “Sometimes the youngest voices will speak the loudest truths.” Piper adds that the show has been created sustainably in every way possible from the materials used to the longevity of the set which will be reused after the Christmas run. 

The show is designed by Antony Jones, with lighting by Alastair Fox, and musical direction and composition by Rosie Fox.
