Little Red Riding Could at Bridport Arts Centre

Why did Red Riding Hood need a man to rescue her from the wolf? Why do we know her by an article of clothing rather than her real name? Why are the victims of the story all women? What would Little Red Riding Hood do if she could? And what is stopping her?

This original play, at turns funny, moving, and challenging, and featuring original songs, imagines how this and the other fairy tales we share with children might be different if we dared to ask these vital questions.

A wildly imaginative retelling of the well-known fairy tale with original live music. Roustabout Theatre, award-winning creators of This Island’s Mine and One Small Step, present an exciting exploration of gender for anyone aged 3+
