8+ - Fairy tales from across the land live in fear. Fear for their lives, fear for their freedom and, most importantly, fear for their turnips. Why you ask? Because Little Red Riding Hood has taken control. The once sweet and innocent girl now rules The Fairytale Woods with an iron fist and a mob of incompetent wolves, intent on creating layer upon layer of bureaucracy till no fairytale can live free.
All this changes when Susan, a kind, if rather uninspiring, book editor from Croydon finds herself magically transported into this world of wonder and fantasy. Faced with tax collecting big bad wolves, talking pigs intent on rebellion and smorgasbords of poisoned fruits, Susan must try desperately to find a way home. If she starts a revolution along the way, well that can’t hurt anyone can it? Featuring all your old favourites from Cinderella and Prince Charming to Snow White and the Three Bears, Assembleth Theatre’s brand-new fantastical comedy Fairytales, Fables & Other Assorted Nonsense will take you on a rebellious fairytale journey you’ll never forget.
Fairytales, Fables & Other Assorted Nonsense was co-created over a period of three months in late 2022 with a group of young people aged 15-18 from the Barbican Theatre, Plymouth’s Rebels programme. It is intended to capture the essence of these sessions and the themes young people wanted to explore through comedy. The R&D was supported by Barbican Theatre Plymouth, and their young people.
