About Diary of a Wicked Queen
From the publisher's feed
Diary of a Wicked Queen is a podcast all about getting a pantomime from first rehearsal to the final night..
I'm Samantha Boffin - audio actor by day, Wicked Queen by night - and the panto is Snow White.
This diary will go backstage, front of house and even on stage.
We’ll talk about the ups and downs, we’ll go behind the scenes and we’ll look at the history of fairytales and pantomime itself.
Honestly - I don't know where the story will go. But it starts here.
Once upon a time, there was a pantomime called Snow White - and in it was a Wicked Queen...
Snow White opens on 16th December 2021 at Questor's Theatre, Ealing, London, UK.
