Seventeen student directors each have ten minutes to re-imagine seventeen fairy tales. These fairytales, mostly selected from Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, range from well-known tales like The Little Matchstick Girl to more obscure stories like Cat and Mouse in Partnership. Freshly picked and repacked as contemporary performance works "Once Upon A Time… "will be an eclectic mixture of short works about love and betrayal. The 17 pieces are divided into ‘2 Sides’ each performing on alternative nights.
