• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  Story
  Red Riding Hood lives with her Mother in the magical wood.
  One day, Red’s Mother asks her to deliver some bread to her
  Grandmother. Grandmother’s cottage is deep in the heart of
  the forest. Usually it’s a short trip, but on her way, Red meets a
  cunning Wolf who tricks her into taking a different path. The
  Wolf goes to the cottage and gobbles up Grandmother. Then
  he waits in the cottage for Red to arrive.
  But Red doesn’t reach Grandmother’s cottage straight away.
  Instead, she meets Baba Yaga the Witch, who is quite a scary
  lady. A talking Cat helps Red to escape, and she arrives at a
  village. The villagers are sad because their Golden Goose and
  Golden Harp have been stolen, and their beloved cow, Milky
  White, has run out of milk.
  Red sells the cow for some magic beans, which grow into a
  beanstalk. Red climbs the beanstalk into the clouds, where she
  meets the Giant who has stolen the Harp and the Goose.
  Can Red steal back the Golden Harp and the Golden Goose?
  And what will happen to Grandmother? One thing’s for sure:
  it’s best not to mess with the Red family; they keep all kinds of
  hidden secrets…
  Join our ragtag band of wild musicians as they guide you
  through this famous tale with new twists, turns, magic
  and song
