The Warehouse Theatre

Snow White and the 7 People of Varying Heights is a modern take on a classic tale. This pantomime has everything you’d expect to see and a few things you won’t! So please join us as we clap, cheer, hiss and boo and see if the beautiful Snow-White can overthrow the Evil Queen. Do you want to see this show? Oh yes you do!
This year we have the added bonus of a live band, meaning the musical element of this pantomime is sure to be something enjoyed by all. We have some original songs written by Paul Lewis and Vicki Singleton, as well as some old classic and some modern bangers; there really is something for everyone in this show.
We also have, for the first time ever, a relaxed performance on the 12th of December at a slightly earlier time of 7pm. This performance is ideal for those who are a little more unsure or anxious about watching a pantomime. We will restrict the number of tickets sold for this show and take out any special effects that might be overwhelming for people with sensory difficulties. The show will be just as amazing, but hopefully more inviting for those people who have perhaps put off seeing a pantomime in the past.
Murder Most Wilde
(VERY loosley based on Oscar Wilde's 'Lord Arthur Savile's Crime')
Following our highly successful summer tour of The Importance Of Being Earnest, Rain or Shine Theatre Company is touring ‘Murder Most Wilde’ in winter 2024, a new adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s comic and quirky tale “Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime”, a delightfully silly Victorian comedy chock full of muddled murder attempts and comic confusion.
Meet Lord Arthur Savile – he has riches, the best of health, complete happiness and is engaged to marry his beautiful fiancé Sybil in just three weeks’ time. But his future mother-in-law invites a fortune teller who reads his palm, exclaiming “I see blood on your hand”. The scene is set! Lord Arthur now believes he is destined to commit a murder, and to avoid any intrigue or inconvenience to his bride to be, he decides to perform the dastardly deed before the wedding takes place. With murder in the offing, his hilarious attempts to avert disaster are more hindered than helped by various servants …. assorted relatives …. passing anarchists …. and a strong sense of upstanding Victorian duty.
Which method will Lord Arthur choose, to whom? and will he succeed?
Our scene is set for an evening of outstanding comedy, suspense and intrigue!
