YOUNG CRITICS COMPETITION

Would you like to write and tell us what you thought about The Snow Queen?

We’d love to find out what you thought of The Snow Queen so why not take part in our Young Critics Competition for a chance to win some great prizes?

The Guardian newspaper’s theatre critic, Lyn Gardner, has given you some things to think about when writing a review of a play.

• Give a short idea of what the play is about.
• Make sure you offer your opinion - is the acting good? Is the staging good?
• How did it make you feel?
• Don't give away any big surprises
• Describe what the set design is like, what the lighting is like and whether there is any good music used in the production

But remember it is only your opinion, it is not a case of being right or wrong.

All you need to do is:

A) Write your review (no more than 250 words)

B) Send your review to:

Snow Queen Review
Warwick Arts Centre
University of Warwick
Coventry
CV4 7AL

Or email your review to: b.c.bishop@warwick.ac.uk

C) Include your name, address, age, where you saw the production, a contact telephone number.

The deadline is Wednesday 6 May.

There are two age categories:

• 8-11 yrs
• 12-16 yrs

The competition will be judged by a professional theatre critic.

One winner from each age category will receive £100 in theatre tokens, a Snow Queen notebook, a poster of the show, and a programme signed by the cast.

The judge's decision is final. Winners will be contacted by Friday 22 May 2009. Sorry we cannot return any entries sent to us by post.
