SUMMARY:Snow White\, Rose Red\, Brown Bear
DESCRIPTION:Snow White and Rose Red – sisters\, twins\, best friends – have lived in the forest since they were Babes in the Wood. Brought up by their hardworking Mother to be kind\, caring and forest fluent… if sometimes a little over enthusiastic in their deeds! \nWhen their quiet life is interrupted by a friendly bear a new chapter begins. But why has the bear chosen them as playfellows?  Why is there sadness in his eyes?  And who on earth is that rude little man with a ridiculously long beard that they keep bumping in to? \nAll questions will be untangled in this new show from the Woods of Widdershins\, using puppets\, storytelling\, original music and a fantastical fairytale forest.
