About

Once upon a time there were two friends, Cei and Gerda.

They did everything together and were inseparable. But one cold, cold night Cei fell under the spell of the evil Snow Queen and was whisked away on her sleigh to the icy palace far away. Can Gerda save Cei from the Snow Queen and will she survive the epic journey across rivers, forests and snow to reach him in time? Join us this Christmas for an enchanting tale of friendship and adventure based on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic story. View our gallery to see the Snow Queen in action.

Artist and art director Su Blackwell will design her first stage production for The Snow Queen. Su’s paper designs are heavily influenced by fairytales and storytelling. Su has exhibited her art-work in galleries around the world including London, New York and Melbourne.

Perfect for the whole family.
