Synopsis
Philip Pullman's Grimm Tales
Philip Wilson from Philip Pullman & Brothers Grimm
Published by Nick Hern Books
Large Mixed Cast
What's that, trailing your footsteps, breathing softly down your neck?
Rediscover the magic and wonder of the original Grimm Tales, retold by master-storyteller Philip Pullman and now imaginatively adapted for the stage by Philip Wilson
You'll meet the familiar characters - Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel - and some unexpected ones too, such as Hans-My-Hedgehog, the Goose Girl at the Spring and the remarkable Thousandfurs
Full of deliciously dark twists and turns, the tales come to life in all their glittering, macabre brilliance
A delight for children and adults alike, these Grimm Tales offer plentiful opportunities for youth theatres, schools and amateur companies looking for a vivid new version of the classic fairytales
This volume contains dramatisations of 12 different Tales arranged in two complementary groups - enough material for two complete productions
Alternatively, companies can make their own selection as required, with the performance fees reflecting the number of Tales to be told
REVIEWS
"A magic box of glittering surprises" ~ The Times
""High class no frills storytelling" ~ TimeOut
"Imagination, wit, a mastery of all the theatrical possibilities of lighting and costume and make-up and the simple magic of transformation all combined in an experience that was a joy to encounter. I'm sure the venerable Brothers Grimm themselves, if they could see it, would be as delighted as I was" ~ Phiiip Pullman
