About the event
A vibrant, big-hearted new play inspired by A Snazzy Tale by Lauren Staton, SNAZZY follows Lauren and Paul as a scrappy idea at Butlins explodes into a face-painting phenomenon. It’s a story about love, hustle, and the magic that starts with a child’s smile—told through chorus, music cues, and the interplay of Older Lauren narrating her younger self. By turns funny, cheeky, and quietly devastating, SNAZZY is a love letter to risk-takers, working mums, and anyone who’s ever built something from nothing.
