Come on a madcap, rock 'n' roll musical journey of plotting and scheming with folklore's most notorious villain - The Big Bad Wolf.
Exiled to the Deep Dark Wood, he parties hard and rocks out every night with his cronies, far away from the goody-goody townspeople of Fairytaleville. But whatever happened to Little Red Riding Hood? Did the Three Little Pigs go on to have a successful career in techno music? Does his Fairy Godmother have what it takes to change the ways of a hardened carnivore?
The Plandits are back on the road with this original, high-energy show bursting with live music, punk attitude, and plenty of laughs.
Audience review quotes:
“What a fabulous show. Three generations all laughing and singing together. Original and brilliant.”
“These guys are amazing. We saw their production of the Big Bad Wolf at Wimpole Hall and it was fantastic. So original, the songs were amazing and it was just a really lovely atmosphere. We hope to see the show on a big stage in the future; the world needs more of this!!!”
“Funny, charming show with catchy original music!”
“The show was full of energy and delivered with style and humour. Would highly recommend, much better than an hour long adaptation of a 5 minute Julia Donaldson book. Funny, charming show with catchy original music.”
“We love the German techno piggies!”
“We loved everything! There were adult jokes, current affair jokes, lots for the children and audience participation.”
📍 Venue Description: St Paul’s Church, affectionately known as The Actors’ Church, is a unique and atmospheric venue nestled at the heart of Covent Garden. While it remains a working place of worship, it has developed a cherished reputation within London’s theatre community as a space for both performance and reflection. Its intimate setting, peaceful garden, and historic architecture make it an exceptional venue for concerts, plays, recitals, and festivals throughout the year.
### **The History of St Paul’s Church**
Commissioned by the 4th Earl of Bedford and designed by renowned architect Inigo Jones, St Paul’s Church was completed in 1633. It was one of the first new churches built in London after the Reformation and is widely considered the first example of classical architecture applied to a London church.
The church gained its moniker, The Actors’ Church, due to its long-standing association with the theatrical community. It lies just steps from the heart of Theatreland and has become a spiritual and commemorative home for performers, writers, and stage crew alike. Memorials to Sir Charlie Chaplin, Noël Coward, Dame Diana Rigg, and Vivien Leigh can be found within the church and its gardens, alongside numerous other figures from the world of stage and screen.
Though damaged in the Blitz during WWII, St Paul’s was faithfully restored and remains an active parish church and vibrant arts venue. It has played host to productions by Iris Theatre and other acclaimed companies, often making full use of its architecture and gardens for immersive and site-specific performances.
