Grimm: Tales from the Brothers Grimm

  • Theatre
  • Entertainment

Within shadowy corridors and haunting landscapes, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and an array of familiar figures emerge to reveal the twisted, unsettling and often hilarious truths beneath the fairy tales we thought we knew.

From the acclaimed company behind the theatrical triumphs Frankenstein, 1984 and Fantastic Mr Fox, Grimm reworks these iconic tales from the Brothers Grimm into an high-octane stage experience that delights, disturbs and surprises in equal measure.

Recommended for ages 14+.
