STORY

The young princess Snowwhite escapes her deadly jealous Stepmother and hides in the Black Forrest with the two dwarfs, Pick and Spade.

When the stepmother finds out her stepdaughter is still alive, she tricks Snowwhite into eating a poisoned apple.

But ultimately love conquers death and the Stepmother falls victim to her own evil scheming.

SNOWWHITE

I am Snowwhite. I am sorry. I am really clumsy, I didn't mean to ruin your house. I have escaped my Stepmother. She wanted to cut my throat and kill me and cut out my heart. She is very evil!

STEPMOTHER

I should have killed her immediately, but I hesitated! I am not waiting any more. My hand is steady. Snowwhite is going to die! Now!

IGOR

I will be quiet. Completely silent. Zip zip zip. The end. Not a sound. Listen! Now it is totally soundless. Not a word escapes my lips. Zip zip! Silent as the grave! Mute as a fish! The rest is... zip.

THE PRINCE

'Allo 'allo! I ham 'Enry! Prince de Pari' I want tö spiik wit ze most bütifül wöman in ze world! Snowwhite!

THE MIRROR

Of course I am speaking the truth. I am the magical mirror and I always speaks the truth! If I did not speak the truth I wouldn't be the mirror that always speaks the truth. Then I would be the mirror that always speaks falsely, but that is quite another story...

THE HUNTER

I was sent to kill you. Cut your throat, rip out your heart and bring it back to your Stepmother. But I can't! I have known you since you were a toddler. Hurry! Hide in the dark woods and never come back. But I warn you: the forests are full of wild and dangerous animals!
