Description From the land of dark forests, misadventure and wicked witches, London's famous Young Vic Company brings its acclaimed dramatisation of classic tales by the Brothers Grimm, adapted by award-winning English poet Carol Ann Duffy. With marvellous theatrical inventiveness and formidable acting skills, the production revives the essential gothic spirit of the fairy tale, vital, spine-tingling and humourous, full of savage morality and transforming power. The live accompaniment of cymbals, lutes, bells, gamelan, plaintive and beautiful song heightens an atmosphere of magic and wonder, as Rumpelstiltskin, Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel and other cherished stories are brought vibrantly to life. A sensational success in London, this show will appeal to audiences of all ages.
