GRIMM

Happily, ever after? Never.
GRIMM, the latest tour de force from Shake & Stir Theatre Co beckons you into a world where fairytales are reimagined with a profound intensity. Be warned – these bedtime stories may cause nightmares…
Within darkened corridors and haunting landscapes, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and many other intriguing characters emerge from the shadows, the truth behind their stories – warts and all – boil and bubble to the surface.
From the company behind the award-winning stage spectacles – Frankenstein, Jane Eyre and A Christmas Carol – comes this bold adaption of tales from the Brothers Grimm in a bewitching theatre experience.
Adapted by Nelle Lee, directed by Daniel Evans and costumes designed by Australian fashion icon Paul McCann – expect a lavish, loud and lucid night.
