A playful and mischievous retelling of Little Red Riding Hood for ages 4+ and their families from the award-winning Roustabout Theatre, makers of Luna and Dinosaurs & All That Rubbish


Nothing’s quite what you’d expect in the deep, dark woods…

Little Red Riding Hood is no longer little, she no longer wears a hood and she wants to be called by her real name. She’s questioning everything. And so are Mother, the Woodcutter and even the Wolf!

A playful and mischievous retelling of the familiar fairy tale, with original songs and signature Roustabout silliness, that dares you to step off the path and write your own story.

What would you do if you could?

“Beguilingly epic.”
The Guardian on Luna

“A brilliant 60 minutes of pure boisterous fun!”
★★★★ Within Her Words on Luna

“Balancing both an environmental message and lots of fun, this show is sure to delight younger audiences!”
★★★★★ Edinburgh Fringe for Kids on Dinosaurs and All That Rubbish

“Part theatre part brilliant gig… will put a big smile on your children’s faces!”
★★★★ Theatre Weekly on Dinosaurs and All That Rubbish

The performance at 2pm on Sunday will be signed by a British Sign Language (BLS) Interpreter.

Little Red Riding Could demands a lot from its young audiences. It is suitable for children 4 and above. We do not recommend bringing younger siblings who are under 4 years old. For the best experience, we recommend reading the director’s note before seeing the show, which includes some questions for consideration that may spark interesting discussions between parents and children.
