CHRISTMAS wouldn't be Christmas without Raymond Briggs's The Snowman. It's as much of a festive staple as mince pies and pine trees.
Now marking almost 25 years on the stage, Bill Alexander’s dazzling production is on its way to becoming about as crucial to Christmas as Santa himself.
It starts, as you would expect, with the young boy, awakening one day to find it snowing outside. Rushing outdoors to play, he decides to build a new friend, the snowman. So begins the enchanted tale of his icy friend who comes to life to take the young boy on a magical journey he'll not forget.
