A couple of days ago my first interview with actors in the adult pantomime Snow White And The Seven Poofs was published. Today I talk to the multi-talented Simon Gross who co-authored, directs and acts in the show and the lovely Aaron Johns who, as his drag alter ego Vicki Vivacious stars as Snow White.

SG: I brought up on a farm in Oxfordshire, but farming was not really my type of thing as I always … [Read more...]
