Fairytales, Fables & Other Assorted Nonsense
8+
Fairy tales across the land live in fear. Fear for their lives, fear for their freedom and, most importantly, fear for their turnips. Why? Because Little Red Riding Hood has taken control. The once sweet and innocent girl now rules The Fairytale Woods with an iron fist and a mob of incompetent wolves. Alongside her dastardly lupine civil servants, Riding Hood is intent on creating layer upon layer of bureaucracy until no fairytale can live free.
Everything changes when Susan, our accidental hero, finds herself magically transported to this world of wonder and fantasy. Faced with tax collecting big bad wolves, radical talking pigs, intent on rebellion, and smorgasbords of poisoned fruit, Susan must try desperately to find a way home.
If she starts a revolution along the way, well that can’t hurt anyone can it?
Featuring all your old favourites from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Cinderella and Prince Charming, Assembleth Theatre’s brand-new fantastical comedy Fairytales, Fables & Other Assorted Nonsense will take you on a rebellious journey you’ll never forget.
Fairytales, Fables & Other Assorted Nonsense is supported by Art Council England and Barbican Theatre Plymouth & their young people.
