Eight tales from Grimm, retaining their original, sometimes gruesome features are dramatised by this enthusiastic and lively group.
The stories include oddities such as The Mouse, the Bird and the Sausage, in which the Sausage is eaten by a three-headed dog.
There were notable performances from Katrina Hedges (Witch), Laura Onslow (Step-Mother) Matthew Simpson (Hansel) and Ishika Prachee (Lady). Unfortunately, the show was not as slick as it could have been. However, the young cast improvised prop and line deficiencies with excellent timing. The final performance is on Sunday.
