Having made remarkable appearances in different TV shows in her first five years as a professional, actress Didintle Khunou plans to establish her brand locally and internationally.
Playing Snow White, the Klerksdorp-born actress returns to a space where she made her stage debut through the musical. She'll become the first black female actor to portray the role in a pantomime, a comedic stage production mainly for children.
“It is about Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Jack and the Beanstalk and it brings all these interesting characters together to fight as a team. It is a representation of good versus evil that we are living in. But we are finding ways to teach these ideas to children in a manner in which they can relate to easily and also make the rest of the audiences chuckle,” she said.
"For me, I am just happy to be back at Joburg Theatre, a place that gave my career a boast and jump-start. I am excited to be the first black woman to play Snow White.” “What I enjoy about pantomime is the lightheartedness and basically the technology that is included in the performance. Panto is not serious, and is about fantasy. It appeals to kids and little inner kids inside us as adults.
