“A spin on the fairytales you thought you knew…. before Hollywood sprinkled sugar on them” 

Once upon a time there were two brothers who collected stories.

Dark and gruesome tales that were sanitised and sweetened for children by the manipulative rulers of the Kingdom. These tales became well loved stories to share in the festive season.

This Christmas the Brothers Grimm want to reclaim their stories from the corporate giants that roam the land, and take back their place in the traditions of folklore. Join them as they tell the stories how they were originally intended; uncensored with all the menace and gore to thrill and delight us on A Grimm Christmas night!

After last year’s inaugural ‘An Evening With Krampus’ was so well received, The Wheel and Barbican Theatre return with another alternative Christmas show where the kids are definitely not allowed!

A Grimm Christmas features professional actors, supported by emerging actors and performers from the region

Tickets £15 (inclusive of all booking fees)
