“All we need is the word 'Once ...' and we're off”

Rediscover the magic and wonder of the original Grimm Tales, retold by master-storyteller Philip Pullman. 

In this stage version, you might meet a selection of familiar characters – Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel – and some unexpected ones too. Lose yourself in a land of wild forests, enchanted castles and beautiful princesses, talking animals, capricious kings, cruel stepmothers and resourceful younger sons setting out into the wide world to seek their fortune. 

Join Encore, The Yvonne Arnaud Youth Theatre’s brand new Production Group, as they bring these enchanting and colourful stories to life, but it’s worth remembering that fairy tales were not originally thought of just as children's stories…
