Synopsis:
Children loved every minute of this show, either shivering with pleasurable terror, growning with pleasurable delight or laughing uproariously at disaster. They were treated to serial killing, cannibalism, decapitation, baby snatching, a naked bottom and the gratuitous ill treatment of a delightful pig.
Charles Spencer, daily Telegraph

Synopsis:
The year is 1755 and a strange series of events has broken out across Europe. In Flanders, bakers' bread rises without yeast; in Padua, a church service is interrupted as the entire female congregation goes into labour; in Cirencester, several magistrates are seen cavorting naked on St Swithins Day. Could Casanova be the cause of these strange goings-on?

Synopsis:
'Great theatre is as fleeting as it is thrilling. It exists in the spaces between actors and audience and is as elusive and silvery as the paths that wind through dark woods of fairy tales. The great thing about Carol Ann Duffy's re-telling of these Grimm tales is the generous energy with which it enfolds each in its own style. Duffy and director Tim Supple go the whole journey with the brothers Grimm into the bright, warped world of a child's imagination.' Guardian
