Synopsis
“Meet with villager’s wise and silly industrious, lazy and in love, and discover the richness of those who reside in the village of the Brothers Grimm.”
A gangster-fairy, an unlikely hero, a rhyming witch and a crying princess are some of the characters unleashed in this fast-paced play. Comedy, heroics, witches, magic, goodness, love, loss and healing are explored using eight stories of the Brothers Grimm.
