A father and daughter sit beside a fire in the snow; a bride is bricked up in a tower; marvels gleam in the half-light, and the mysterious snake leaves bring transformation. The dark and unexpected pasts of three dishevelled travellers lost in a forest are untangled in this subtle and beguiling fairytale for grown-ups. Seamlessly interweaving a dozen of Grimm’s lesser-known stories, legendary contemporary storytellers, Ben Haggarty, Hugh Lupton, Sally Pomme Clayton and extraordinary musician Sheema Mukherjee, embark on an enchanted search for truth. A primitive world is conjured, taking the listener on a twisted journey into humorous, moving and cruel stories to find wisdom. Shot through with evocative music and luminous beauty, this is a show about what it is to be a human. "I was spell-bound – I don’t use the word lightly." The Times
