Waterside Arts family theatre programme continues to impress. After the smash hit run of Mr Popper’s Penguins in December comes a one off performance of Snow Play, a highly interactive production, fresh from a successful run in London.

“This is just snow much fun. A sheer delight.” The Stage

What would you do if one year Winter decided to stay and moved into your house? Well that’s what happens in this snowy spectacular, where you are guaranteed a white Christmas, no matter what the weather, or the time of year for that matter! Snow Play is a showdown between Winter and Spring over who gets to stay and who has to go away… We know who we’d rather see leave!
