Snow Queen Melts Away

We've been happy to have the Snow Queen costume exhibited in the library during December and January, but this is her final week watching over staff and students at the issue desk.  We've blogged and tweeted about her, in the context of costume design and creation.

We had an Item of the Month displayed from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Archives, too - the
2016 programme of the production by Stuart Paterson and Dougie Irvine. 

Don't forget, there's a wealth of interesting performance related material in our archives up at Speirs Locks!  It's best to make an appointment with Stuart Harris-Logan, our Archives Officer.   (Ask us, if you need to know how to get there.)

Watch out for our February display theme!!

For a different take on the Snow Queen, consider Elsa, from Frozen.  Read Sarah Whitfield's chapter in The Disney Musical on Stage and Screen, locating Frozen as a Feminist Disney Musical.  This is available on Drama Online.

'Team Snow Queen: feminist cinematic ‘misinterpretations’ of a fairy tale': this online article in the E-Journal Studies in European Cinema looks at four female directors using Hans Christian Andersen’s story ‘The Snow Queen’ as hypotext.
