Nelson Youth Theatre Company is delighted to present a double bill, showcasing our younger performers in Heidi and The Snow Queen.
This story of Heidi, the little orphan girl who brings new hope to everyone her life touches, glows even more endearingly today than it has for generations. The way Heidi brings her gruff, old hermit grandfather back into the world and helps Clara, the invalid child, find health and happiness portrays the charming sentiment of the old world. Heidi would say that everyone will love seeing this beguiling book brought to life - and Heidi wouldn't lie.
The Snow Queen is skillfully adapted from the famous original story by Hans Christian Andersen. This is the story of Gerda, a little girl who searches for her friend Kai when he is bewitched and imprisoned by the Snow Queen in her ice palace. Gerda's innocence charms all good people and animals she meets on the way. They help her to the royal court, and on to Lapland, where good conquers evil and the children are reunited.
