Graeae’s critically acclaimed show Whiter than Snow continues their exploration of what is normal and abnormal. The UK’s foremost disabled-led theatre company turns the tables on our expectations of perfection and does it all with humour, honesty and more than a little imagination.

Set in a far off, war-torn land, the Frantz family, a travelling troupe of players of small stature, struggle to tour their latest production of Snow White. Unfortunately, all is not well, the leading lady has eloped with the Prince, they are down to four dwarves and the show starts in five minutes. Egos and family tensions burst to the surface. The arrival of a beautiful female clone on the run from well-intentioned geneticists adds chaos to the confusion as she gets ready to play the role of Snow White.

Written by the award-winning children’s playwright Mike Kenny the playtext was originally commissioned by Birmingham Repertory Theatre Company for Graeae.

Ultimately the show asks the question – what does it mean to be human?
