He’s behind you! Oh no he isn’t! Yes it is nearly panto time again and rehearsals for the Marlowe’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs are underway.

The cast, including former EastEnders’ actress Emma Barton (Honey Mitchell) in the lead role, are going through their lines at the Prince of Wales Youth Centre in Canterbury.

It is the final panto before the theatre closes for the multi-million pound rebuild.

The production also stars TV presenter and magician Stephen Mulhern – back for a second year – playing Muddles, Herne comedian Dave Lee as Nurse Nellie, Richard Hurst as Prince Charming and American Valerie Cutko as the Wicked Queen.

Wingham resident Phil Holden plays one of the seven dwarfs.

The show opens to the public on Saturday, November 29, with a matinee and evening performance and runs until Sunday, January 18.
