Grimm Tales
Adapted by Carol Ann Duffy
Dramatised by Tim Supple
Directed by Michael Futcher
Presented by Queensland Theatre Company
Cremorne Theatre, QPAC
A charming collection of eight timeless fairytales told with a quirky twist was a sure way to end QTC’s 2010 season on a high.
The folk music and energy levels of the cast provided a festive feel – a great lead up to the merry season of Christmas. The mind-blowing set and lighting design I’m sure will make this show a sell-out for audiences of all ages.
There was the gore of Ashputtel (the original Cinderella) when the two ugly sisters cut their feet to fit the slipper and the enchantment of Snow White when she is given the kiss of life by Prince Charming. And judging by the opening night audience’s reaction, the shocking parts of the tales will probably frighten the adults more than the children..

For many of them it was the most vital and alive they have ever felt. This is their story.
