About David Salter
David Salter presents An Evening with Dame Granny Smith, an intimate on-stage conversation with the world's most celebrated apple. From her vaudeville debut at age five to her breakthrough role in Disney's Snow White, Dame Smith takes the audience on a journey through her storied life and career, all told with her trademark candour and wit. The show is warm, funny, uplifting and absurd — a ventriloquism and puppetry act staged in the cabaret and variety tradition.
Why see this show?
An absurdist ventriloquism show with a fully realised character at its centre. David Salter has created a genuine comic creation in Dame Granny Smith, and the show works because it takes the absurdity completely seriously.
