Mirror, Mirror on the wall, Divina De Campo is the fairest of them all!

The Wyvern Theatre welcomed 2023 panto star Divina De Campo to Swindon this week. 

During a magical photoshoot at Purton House and Purton House Organics Farm Shop it was clear that they couldn't have 'picked' a better location.

After striking many a pose in full Wicked Queen costume in the autumnal grounds and in front of her Magic Mirror, Divina was armed with a basket and a poisoned apple, and with her infectious laugh was ready to hit the farm shop aisles for a spot of apple picking!

Ru Paul’s Drag Race favourite Divina will lead the cast of Snow White in this year’s family pantomime as the Wicked Queen, Morgiana.

Swindon panto team Paul Burling and David Ashley, as well as Channel 5 Milkshake! presenter and Tik Tok star Nathan Connor and real-life Disney Channel star and musical theatre actress Samantha Dorrance, complete the star line-up. 

The Wyvern says audiences can expect spectacular sets and costumes, fabulous songs, hilarious comedy routines, plenty of audience participation and an abundance of unforgettable fun for all the family in a wonderfully immersive theatrical experience.

The panto will run from Saturday 2 to Sunday 31 December, and tickets can be booked via swindontheatres.co.uk
