Theatre bosses in Tunbridge Wells have signed up to partner with the long-running producers of the award-winning panto on the other side of the county this Christmas.

The Assembly Hall Theatre, which was with UK Productions for its show Peter Pan last Christmas, has announced it has a new partnership with Evolution Productions, which will be producing its panto for the first time this year.

The company, which has been producing the Marlowe Theatre's record breaking show in Canterbury for more than a decade, won Pantomime of The Year for 2016/17 and 2017/18 at the Great British Pantomime Awards.

The Assembly Hall Theatre's pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will play from Friday, December 11 to Sunday, January 3 and will be written by Evolution's Paul Hendy with direction from the theatre’s JJ Almond. Casting is yet to be announced.

Last year's show at the Tunbridge Wells theatre starred Holby City's Paul Bradley, Lloyd Warbey from Disney’s Art Attack and Holly Atterton from Nick Junior’s Go Go Go.

Tickets are on sale for this year's show now.
