AS a theatre prepares to raise the curtain on its annual pantomime, the creative team has received expert advice on how to style the hair of their leading lady.

The production of Snow White at the Georgian Theatre Royal, Richmond, is recreating the look of the1920s art deco Hollywood era, which includes hair, make-up and costume, as well as set design and props.

Snow White is portrayed as an up-and-coming starlet and to help create her 1920s hairstyle, stylists from Saks Hair and Beauty, at Sedbury Hall, near Richmond have been called in to help.

Clare Allen, director of the pantomime, said: “Our designers produced some wonderful images of how the Snow White character should look but actually creating the desired style can be difficult, especially as women today don’t tend to be familiar with techniques such as setting waves and pinning rolls of hair.”

  • The show runs from Saturday until January 8. Tickets, costing £9 to £22, are available from the box office on 01748-825252.
