Brother and sister, Alireza and Fatemeh Sarebani, have both played characters in Disney’s Star Wars films as well as other big titles.

Alireza Sarebani, who is set to be one of the seven dwarfs, spent a whole month in Jordan filming the latest Star Wars sequel ‘Episode IX’.

Despite her Disney past the 42-year-old is very excited to be in Ipswich’s Snow White Pantomime.

She said: “The majority of my work is filming with Disney productions and last year I did panto for the first time.

“I found it really exciting because the panto is totally different and the theatre environment is different than filming, it is a really good experience.

“The theatre is live so you have to be more active and it is more fun I would say.”
